Chamara

A named yak-tail fly-whisk of Indian royal and later Buddhist honor. Not a fan as a generic, and not a Kāhili under a whisk name.

Buddhist traditions

Chamara appears in Buddhist traditions.
Watson’s Lotus Sūtra seats the fly-whisk among royal and sacred honor-marks of Buddhas and Buddha-land attendants — the published chamara entity carries that yak-tail whisk. A named chamara in that sūtra, not a generic fan id (absent) and not a Hawaiian kāhili dump.

In Watson’s Lotus Sūtra the fly-whisk is carried among the honor instruments of Buddha assembly and attendance. A named Buddhist ritual use of the chamara in that text, not a household dusting tool and not a parade prop alone.

Chamara is sacred to Buddha.
Watson’s Lotus Sūtra seats the fly-whisk among marks of honor dedicated in the Buddha’s presence and Buddha-land attendance. A named chamara sacred to the Buddha in that sūtra, not a generic royalty checklist and not a courtesy reverse onto tradition.
