[210] **"Resorting to a secluded seat" (bhajamānassa vivittamāsanaṃ):** a "seat" (āsana) is said of that whereon one sits — a bed, a bench, a cushion, a mat, a piece of hide, a spread of grass, a spread of leaves, a spread of foliage. That seat is empty, secluded, and fully secluded from the seeing of unsuitable forms; empty, secluded, and fully secluded from the hearing of unsuitable sounds; empty, secluded, and fully secluded from the smelling of unsuitable odours, from the tasting of unsuitable tastes, from the touching of unsuitable tangibles, and from the five unsuitable strands of sensual pleasure (kāmaguṇa). For one who resorts to, fully resorts to, cultivates, pursues, cultivates together with, and practises that seat — thus, "resorting to a secluded seat."
