color in 6 chittaks haldi, then in Icusum paiwar; dry and finish with a solution
of 1 chittak alum.
Zamurradi.—Dye first a nila dbi gahra, then proceed as in mdshi, taking
however 4 chittaks instead of 6 ohittaks haldi.
Mungiya.—Color dbi nila-, then proceed as in mdshi'using only 3 chittaks
haldi.
K<ihi.—First impart a light dbi color, then proceed as in mdshi, using
only 2 chittaks haldi.
Dhdni.—First color dudhiya dbi, the rest as in MM.
Pistai.—First give a light dudhiya dbi color, then proceed as in mdshi,
using only 1\ chittaks haldi.
The foregoing compound colors are fleeting. The following process will
render them permanent.
Take 4 chittaks aqqal bir, grind and mix in one ghara of water, add 1J
chittaks alum; place this mixture in the sun for one day; pour off the water and
color in it. Another process is this. Take 2 or 3 seers rusa leaves, 1-^ seer
tesu flowers, and 8 to 12 ohittaks ndspdl; mix these together; boil them in
water; place the decoction in the sun for a week, pour off the water and use
it as in the last case.
Kolcai.—Dye in dl or manjit, then in indigo. This color is permanent. Dye
in Icusum or patang and then in indigo. This color is fleeting.
Kdkreza.—Color as for Icolcai using less indigo.
JJnndbi.—Dye alight red and then a light blue.
Uda, bainjani, nqfattndni and kdsni are all progessively lighter shades
of red and blue imparted as for unndbi,
Kanjai.—This color is produced by dying red as for Msni and blue as for
baijani.
Ndranji.—Color first in 4 chittaks haldi, then in 4 chittaks of the three
shades of Itusum and finally in 4 chittaks khathai,
Sunahra.—Dye first in 4 chittaks haldi, then 8 chittaks Icusum of each
shade and finally 8 chittaks khatai.
Ohampai.—Color in 2 chittaks haldi, then 4 chittaks Icusum and lastly 2
chittaks khatal.
Gendai.—First 2 chittaks haldi, next 2 chittaks Icusum, lastly 1 chittak
khatai. For this color genda flowers may be used instead of haldi.
WOOL.
Blue.—Nila sum air—Boil 4 chittaks alum and 4 chittaks murabba nil
in water; dye the wool in this; then draw through cool water in which 2
chittaks ttzdb have been dissolved; wash well. Nil—This color is imparted in
the same way as the last but only one half the quantity of murabba nil is used.
Nila dbi is produced similarly, using only 1 chittak nil. Dudhiya dbi nil, also
called fcronaif is produced by usiDg half a chittak murabba nil, 2 chittaks
alum, 2 chittaks tezdb. The process is as before.
