佛說目連問戒律中五百輕重事經 1.49

1.49

問：「僧中說法，高座上得備机捉塵毛尾不？」答：「病得備机。捉塵毛尾犯墮，非毛得。」

Question: "When expounding the Dharma within the saṃgha, on the high seat, is one permitted to furnish a table and hold a whisk of hairs or tails?" Answer: "If sick, one is permitted to furnish a table. Holding a whisk of hairs or tails constitutes a pāyattika; if it is not hair, it is permitted."
