KULLAVAGGA.
VI, 2, 7.
They told this matter to the Blessed One.
'You are not, O Bhikkhus, to make use of pillows half the size of a man's body. Whosoever does so, shall be guilty of a dukkata. I allow you, O Bhikkhus, to have pillows the size of a man's head.'
7. Now at that time there was a festival on a high place at Râgagaha. The people provided for the use of high officials bolsters stuffed with wool, or cotton cloth, or bark, or grass, or leaves. When the festival had been held they tore open the covers of skin and carried them off. And the Bhikkhus saw much wool, and cotton cloth, and bark, and grass, and leaves thrown away on the spot where the festival had been held; and on seeing this, they told the matter to the Blessed One.
'I allow, O Bhikkhus, bolsters of five kindsthose stuffed with wool, or cotton cloth, or bark, or grass, or talipot leaves.'
Now at that time a bed coverlet had come into the possession of the Samgha.
They told this matter to the Blessed One.
'I allow you, O Bhikkhus, to cover a bolster with it.'
Now at that time the Bhikkhus folded up bed bolsters on to chairs 3, and chair bolsters on to bedsteads, and the bolsters came to pieces.
They told this matter to the Blessed One.
'I allow you, O Bhikkhus, chairs and bedsteads covered (with upholstered cushions to fit them).'
