General definition (in Buddhism)
Pāṃśūkūlika (पांशूकूलिक) refers to “the virtue of (wearing only) robes made from discarded materials” and represents one of the “twelve ascetic virtues” (dhūtaguṇa) as defined in the Dharma-saṃgraha (section 63). The Dharma-samgraha (Dharmasangraha) is an extensive glossary of Buddhist technical terms in Sanskrit (e.g., pāṃśūkūlika). The work is attributed to Nagarjuna who lived around the 2nd century A.D.
