[267] Now at that time people, in dining halls within the village houses, prepared high and grand beds, namely: a long sofa (āsandi); a divan (pallaṅka); a long-fleeced woolen coverlet (goṇaka); a woolen coverlet patterned with many colors (cittaka); a white woolen coverlet (paṭikā); a woolen coverlet embroidered with flowers (paṭalikā); a mattress stuffed with cotton (tūlikā); a woolen coverlet embroidered with figures of beasts (vikatikā); a woolen coverlet with the nap standing upright (uddhalomi); a woolen coverlet with the nap on one side (ekantalomi); a silk coverlet interwoven with gems (kaṭissa); a silk sheet (koseyya); a woolen blanket (kambala); a dancers' rug (kuttaka); an elephant rug; a horse rug; a chariot rug; a spread of black-antelope hides sewn together (ajinappaveṇi); a choice spread of kadali-deer hide; a coverlet with a canopy above; a couch with red cushions at both ends.
The bhikkhus, being scrupulous, did not sit down upon them. They reported this matter to the Blessed One. "Bhikkhus, I allow you, excepting three things — the long sofa, the divan, and the cotton-stuffed mattress — to sit down upon the rest of what has been arranged by householders (gihivikaṭa), but not to lie down upon it."
