The Mūlasarvāstivāda Vinaya says: 'Niṣīdana in the language of Tang is zuoju (sitting mat).' The Mahīśāsaka Vinaya says: 'For the sake of protecting the body, protecting the robes, and protecting the Sangha's beds and mats, one keeps a niṣīdana.' The Mahāsaṃghika Vinaya says: 'According to the vinaya, it should be made to measure: two Buddha hand-spans in length, and one and a half spans in width.' (One Buddha hand-span is two chi and four cun long; this should be four chi and eight cun long, and three chi and six cun wide). > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 5.39](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2025.5.39) - [Next: 5.41](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2025.5.41) - [Up: 5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2025.5) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2025~en-mt.5.40) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2025.5.40](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2025.5.40) · Pramāṇa
