The above is determined by analogy: rugs that have the form and measure of the three robes enter light property as before; but if brought to the Central Land, they are subsumed under heavy property. Leather three robes can be understood by analogy with the above. Thick and large ones enter heavy property, while the rest are not strictly ruled out. The reasoning states: since wearing them is not permitted, they are gathered as intrinsically heavy; however, because their use was permitted for lay households and in borderlands, this is not a universal prohibition, so they enter functionally heavy property. That the Vinaya does not prohibit the three skins of yili clearly indicates they are subsumed under heavy property.
