4.26
For one woman was grinding fragrant body oils;

Another was making clothes fragrant;

Another, likewise, was preparing a bath;

While other women strung together
sweet-smelling garlands.

COMMENT:
As always in a list of four, it is possible to see a certain logic of progression -- whether one was originally intended or not!

In this verse as I read it the body is the self, clothes are an external object, to take a bath (as emphasized by vidhim) is an action, and a garland of flowers can be taken as a symbol of the real universe as celebrated for example in the Lotus Sutra.

EH Johnston:
For one woman was pounding ointment, another perfuming clothes, another preparing the bath and others weaving sweet-smelling garlands.

Linda Covill:
one woman was grinding body-unguents, another was perfuming clothes, one was preparing a bath, and others were weaving fragrant garlands.
