20.53

如僧祇律云。若在禪坊中。啑者不得放恣大啑。若啑來時。當忍以手掩鼻。若不可忍者。應手遮鼻而啑。勿令涕唾污比座。若上座啑者。應言和南。下座啑默然。

As the Mahāsāṃghika-vinaya states: “If one is in the meditation hall, one who sneezes must not sneeze loudly without restraint. When a sneeze comes, one should suppress it and cover the nose with the hand. If it cannot be suppressed, one should shield the nose with the hand and sneeze, not allowing nasal mucus or saliva to soil adjacent seats. If a senior monk sneezes, one should say ‘Vandana’ (Homage); if a junior monk sneezes, one remains silent.”
