今浙右僧解夏日。以綵束苑以遺檀越。謂之解夏草。今詳此草。已為五分法身座故。名為吉祥草也○根本百一羯磨云。受隨意苾芻。應行此苑與僧伽為座。諸苾芻並於草上坐（言隨意。即自恣也。言僧伽。即眾也。以草藉地坐也）。

> Today, on the day monks in western Zhejiang conclude the summer retreat, they bind grass into bundles with coloured silk to give to the dānapatis, calling it "grass for ending the summer retreat." Examining this grass now, it is named "auspicious grass" (kuśa) because it serves as the seat for the fivefold Dharma-body. The Mūlasarvāstivāda-ekaśatakarman states: "The bhikṣu who has received pravāraṇā should distribute these bundles to serve as seats for the Saṃgha; all the bhikṣus then sit upon the grass." ("Following wishes" (隨意) means pravāraṇā (自恣). "Saṃgha" means the assembly. They spread the grass on the ground to sit on it.)
