2.1398

八十五。（佛在舍衛，六群作兜羅貯褥；居士譏以殺生，故制。）兜羅是梵語，《多論》云：草木花綿之總稱，又翻霜綿。所以制者，《多論》云：以是貴人所畜故，又人所嫌故，喜生虫故，又若臥軟煖，後得麁硬，不堪忍故。

[Precept] Eighty-five. (The Buddha was in Śrāvastī. The group of six monks made cushions stuffed with tūla; householders criticized them for taking life, so it was prohibited.) Tūla is a Sanskrit word; the Sarvāstivāda Vinaya Vibhāṣā says: 'It is the general name for plant and tree down (floss); it is also translated as frost-floss.' As for why it was prohibited, the Sarvāstivāda Vinaya Vibhāṣā says: 'Because it is kept by nobles; also because it is disliked by people; because it easily breeds insects; and because if one lies on something soft and warm and later obtains something coarse and hard, one will be unable to endure it.'
