妙法蓮華經玄贊 9.26

9.26

The Commentary says: This is rendering obedience. “蓏” (luǒ) is read with the sound of “瓜” (guā). The Yupian states: “Fruit from trees (guǒ) refers to the kinds of peaches and plums; fruit from vines (luǒ) refers to the kinds of melons and gourds.” Moreover, that with a pit is called guǒ, and that without a pit is called luǒ. Again, fruits of trees are called guǒ, and fruits of herbaceous plants are called luǒ. Furthermore, those above on trees are called guǒ, and those on the ground are called luǒ.
