妙法蓮華經玄贊 3.139

3.139

贊曰：三快勅也。風驚秕落，霜殞貞存。佛許說而驚其心，振威神而令起去，故以枝條退為佳唱，貞實住而許說，輕薄虛疎故譬枝葉，敦重堅固乃同貞實。「佳」音古膎反，善好也。「膎」音戶佳反，南人謂膎脼也。

The Eulogy says: Third, the swift command. When the wind startles, the chaff falls; when the frost descends, the pure survives. The Buddha granted permission to speak, thereby startling their minds, and aroused his august spiritual power to cause them to rise and depart; thus, regarding the withdrawal of the branches and leaves as a fine utterance, and because the pure and true remained, he granted permission to speak. The light, flimsy, empty, and sparse are therefore compared to branches and leaves; the earnest, heavy, firm, and solid are likened to the pure and true. “Fine” (jiā) is pronounced gǔ xié fǎn; it means good and excellent. Xié is pronounced hù jiā fǎn; southern people say xiéliǎng.
