After scratching my head for several moments, and looking at Chris's link, it (to me) refers to the outer robe a monk wears...in Thailand the Pali has been (what's the word?...you know it, but I shouldn't say it) to 'Jivon' (Gee-vaughn)...

it is the banner of the Arahants and enables them to be devine messengers (the messenger of the path the fourth the Buddha encountered as a Prince before he left the household life).
It also physically embodies the homeless life, making a separation between spiritual seeker and those living the life of the householder.

He must be able to hear them from persons who actually believe them … he must know them in their most plausible and persuasive form.
