35.73

On the commentary's "Speaking of various brahma-sounds refers to the eight kinds of brahma-sounds..." and so forth: The text fully lists the first two; the commentary's explanation merely notes the latter six. If explained, one should say: 3. Harmonious, meaning moderate between large and small. 4. Gentle, meaning words without coarseness. 5. Inerrant, meaning words without error. 6. Not effeminate, meaning the voice is heroic and clear. 7. Venerable and wise, meaning words without trembling or fear. 8. Deep and far-reaching, meaning the voice issues from the naval center.
