四分律刪繁補闕行事鈔 3.342

3.342

《善見》：優波離上高座，取象牙裝扇，結法藏訖；放扇下座，禮僧已，復座。《智論》：若欲說法，先禮僧已，坐師子座。《僧祇》：若為律師法師，敷師子座，散華著上，不拂却，不得坐。

The Samantapāsādikā states: "Upāli ascended the high seat, took an ivory-inlaid fan, and completed the compilation of the Dharma repository; laying down the fan, he descended the seat, paid homage to the saṃgha, and returned to his place." The Mahāprajñāpāramitopadeśa states: "If one wishes to expound the Dharma, one first pays homage to the saṃgha and then sits upon the lion throne." The Mahāsāṃghika Vinaya states: "If a lion throne is spread for a Vinaya master or Dharma master and flowers are scattered upon it, if they are not brushed away, he must not sit down."
