antarvāsa or "under robe," inner robe.
The antarvāsa is the inner robe covering the lower body.
It is the undergarment that flows underneath the other layers of clothing.
It has a large neck, and almost entirely covers the torso.
In representations of the Buddha, the bottom of the antarvāsa usually protrudes, and appears in the rough shape of a triangle.
