Regarding the sūtra saying from “natural virtuous breezes” down to “six times like this,” the commentary states: This fifth is the blowing of the virtuous breezes. “Excessively elegant” is the state of attaining the mean. As for *fen* (芬), the regional dialect says *fenhe* (芬和), meaning fragrant and well-balanced. As for *lie* (裂), it should be written as *lie* (烈), meaning radiant and splendid; *lie* (裂) is not the correct graph. Both Bai Yan and Zhi Qian say “four times like this.” Since these are flowers for making offerings to the sages, there is no objection to “six times.”
