四分律刪繁補闕行事鈔 1.176

1.176

Among those seated in the saṃgha, those permitted to stand exclude the person being disciplined; because he is the one for whom the karman is being performed, he does not complete the saṃgha quorum. For all other matters, begging [a request] while seated is according to the Dharma, as explicitly stated in the textual principles.
