adjective either “with the string,” or “in one”; Vin.i.46 (saguṇaṃ karoti to put together, to fold up; C ekato katvā). This interpretation (as “put together”) is much to be preferred to the one given under guṇa¹ 1; saguṇaṃ katvā belongs to saṅghāṭiyo, and not to kāyabandhanaṃ, thus: “the upper robes are to be given, putting them into one (bundle).”

either sa³ + guṇa¹ 1, as given under guṇa¹; or sa˚ = saṃ˚ once, as in sakṛt, + guṇa¹ 2
