207:1 Compare the fifteen rules of a similar character, Sekhiyas 57-72, and especially No. 69.

1. Now at that time Visâkhâ the mother of Migâra was anxious to have a storeyed building (pâsâda), with a verandah (âlinda) to it, supported on pillars with capitals of elephant head 1, built for the use of the Samgha. Then the Bhikkhus thought, 'Of things which appertain to a storeyed building, which has been permitted by the Blessed One, and which not 2?'

They told this matter to the Blessed One.

'I allow, O Bhikkhus, the use of all appurtenances to a storeyed building.'

Now at that time the grandmother of Pasenadi of Kosala had died, and many unauthorised things had come into the hands of the Samgha, such as couches, divans (&c., as in chapter 8 above, and Mahâvagga V, 10, 4).

They told this matter to the Blessed One.

'I allow you, O Bhikkhus, to use the stuffed couches (âsandi) after having broken off the legs 1, and the divans (pallaṅka) after having removed the hair, and to comb out the cotton of the mat-tresses and make pillows of it 2, and to use all the rest as floor covering 3.'
