________________ RENUNCIATION 263 (sāgārıya, sejjāyara), his family and his servants, nor may they be visited by his animals,while, at least as far as nuns arc concerned, they must not lie beyond the reach of his command (K. 1, 22ff ; Āyār. II 72 ff). They may not contain any paintings (K. 1, 20 ff.), and their hight must allow for standing in them cithcr crcct or at least somewhat bent (K. 4, 28-31) Supplics of grain, meat etc. which are kept there, must be locked up, quarters in which there are pitchers containing certain beverages or where cither fire or light is burning at night may be taken up in cases of emergency only (K. 2, 1-10). It is doubtful whether during the rainy season the monk was allowed two supplementary quarters as a makeshift apart from his permanent one (comp. Pajj. 60). The resting place (segjā) consists in a shake-down (samthāra, -raga) of either dry grass or hay (Āyār. II 53, 1; dabbha-s. Vıy. 126b),1 the above mentioned uttara-patta serving as a cover.2 As is the case with some other objects (Nis 1, 31-34; 5, 15-24), this sejjā-samthāraga is either lent to the monk for taking it away with him (pādıhārıya, also padi-) or clse it remains with the host (sāgāriya-santıya), K 3, 25-28; Nis. 2, 53-58; Vav. 8, 7-10, and it probably applies to the first case when the s. is counted among the additional outfit (§ 145). Before being placed back it has to be shaken up afresh (avigaranam katlu K. 3, 26). Though we are not informed as to how the s. was transported, It follows from Vav. 8, 2-4 that it may be light cnough to be carried by one hand for five days and for one day at least during the rainy season. This difference in weight is probably duc to the monk's then using a bench (pidha) or a plank (phalaga) instead of the sejjā-s., and, accordingly, Pajj. 53 docs not speak of a sejjā.-s but of a scjâsaniya 3 Thān. 157a the "resting litter" is a stone or wooden platc used for self-castigation. $148.
