nivAsayati
nivāsayati , generally as in Skt. puts on (a garment, regularly undergarment). So also Pali nivāseti, wrongly defined in PTSD to dress oneself … to get clothed or dressed . It is true that in the common cliché (kālyam eva, or the like) nivāsayitvā, LV 240.11 ( vs ); Mv i.34.14 ; 54.10 ; 307.14 ; iii.60.3 ; 255.15 ; 272.5 ; 414.5 ; or nivāsya, LV 407.13 ; Divy 20.2 ; Av i.290.16 , etc. ; no object is expressed. It is unnecessary to say what the monk puts on before starting his round of begging; the gerund however means strictly having put on ( sc. the undergarment; cf. Prāt 527.8 cīvaraṃ nivāsayiṣyāmaḥ, with Chin. transl. ; contrast prāvariṣyāmaḥ 529.1 ff. , of the upper garment; same contrast in Pali , Vin. iv.185.18, 27 ). Once the verb is used in the causal sense of cause (someone else) to put on (an undergarment): Bhīk 11a.4 nivāsanaṃ nivāsayitavyā, (the nun) is to be caused (by the instructress) to put on the undergarment .
