[902] **Resorting to an empty seat (bhajato rittamāsanaṃ):** "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 straw. That seat is empty, secluded, thoroughly secluded from the seeing of unsuitable forms; empty, secluded, thoroughly secluded from the hearing of unsuitable sounds … empty, secluded, thoroughly secluded from the five unsuitable strands of sensual pleasure (kāmaguṇa). For one resorting to, frequenting, cultivating, pursuing, associating with, and practicing upon that seat — hence, "resorting to an empty seat."
