5.54

The Vinaya says: 'When monks are troubled by grass insects, they are permitted to make a flywhisk.' The Mahāsaṃghika Vinaya says: 'The Buddha permitted making thread whisks, fine cotton whisks, miscanthus whisks, and tree-bark whisks. If they are decorated with yak tails, horse tails, or gold and silver handles, none may be held.'
