Answer: If we analyze the meaning from the character itself, the principle is easily clarified. The upper stroke represents the virtue of Heaven; the lower stroke represents the virtue of Earth; and the human radical represents the virtue of Man. The sage ruler's Way matches creation and transformation, and his virtue joins the Three Powers; therefore, he is called a benevolent king. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.10](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1705.1.10) - [Next: 1.12](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1705.1.12) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1705.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1705~en-mt.1.11) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1705.1.11](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1705.1.11) · Pramāṇa
