1 catch the whigs bathing and walk away with their clothes
"подкараулить противника во время купания и унести его одежду (воспользоваться его одеждой)", нарядиться в тогу противника, выступать в доспехах противника, т. е. начать проводить политику другой партии [выражение создано Б. Дизраэли: The Right Honourable gentleman Sir Robert Peel - автор] caught the Whigs bathing and walked away with their clothes. (‘Speech in the House of Commons’, Febr. 28, 1845)The current doctrine is that Labour must ape the Tory in order to unseat him... It is appearance that counts in this wicked world and there's a world of difference between stealing your opponent's clothes while he is bathing, and then leaving him naked and presumably ashamed, and wearing your opponent's borrowed and wornout trousers. (‘Tribune’) — Лейборист наших дней, чтобы занять в парламенте место консерватора, должен походить на последнего как две капли воды... Да, в этом жестоком мире внешности придается слишком большое значение. Но ведь есть же разница между элегантным платьем, украденным у ничего не подозревающего противника, который, оказавшись нагишом, заливается краской стыда, и потертыми штанами, взятыми у противника напрокат.

5 clothes make the man
посл.≈ одежда красит человекаThe well-known proverb, "Clothes make the man", has its origin in a general recognition of the powerful influence of the habiliments in their reaction upon the wearer. (S. Leacock, ‘Literary Lapses’, ‘A New Pathology’) — Хорошо известная пословица "по платью встречают" отражает весьма распространенное мнение, что одежда влияет на характер человека.

17 देवयानी _dēvayānī
देवयानी N. of the daughter of Śukra, preceptor of the Asuras. [She fell in love with Kacha, her father's pupil, but he rejected her advances. On this she cursed the youth, who in return cursed her that she should become the wife of a Kṣatriya (See कच.) Once upon a time Devayānī and her companion Śarmiṣṭhā, the daughter of Vṛiṣaparvan, the king of the Daityas, went to bathe keeping their clothes on the shore. But the god Wind changed their clothes, and when they were dressed they began to quarrel about the change until Śarmiṣṭhā, so far lost her temper that she, slapped Devayānī's face, and threw her into a well. There she remained until she was seen and rescued by Yayāti, who, with the consent of her father, married her, and Śarmiṣṭhā became her servant as a recom- pense for her insulting conduct towards her. Devayānī lived happily with Yayāti for some years and bore him two sons, Yadu and Turvasu. Subsequently her husband became enamoured of Śarmiṣṭhā, and Deva- yānī, feeling herself aggrieved, abruptly left her husband and went home to her father, who at her request condemned Yayāti with the infirmity of old age; see Yayāti also.] -
