It is the universal custom among the Parsees of the Far East
to wear a girdle around their waists, which is twisted into
three knots in a most complicated fashion. In performing their
daily ablutions this girdle must be removed, and in replacing
it certain prayers are repeated for each knot. The three knots
represent good thoughts, good words, and good deeds, all
constituting a threefold cord that is to be not easily broken.
A good companion to the “girdle of truth” which the Christian may wear.
