3.342

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."
