首楞嚴義疏注經 1.97

1.97

Fully called Prasenajit, translated here as "Victorious Sovereign." The day the late king passed away was a morning of mourning taboos, hence it is called "memorial day"; namely, the day following the pravāraṇā. "Taboo" means avoiding, because auspicious matters are avoided, and one shuns his name. "Palace inner quarters" refers to the inner court, the residence of the queens and consorts, situated to the left and right of the Son of Heaven like elbows and armpits. It was the King's forbidden palace, the residence of those who attended at his side.
