3.59

The Commentary states: This indicates the complete meaning and explains the name 'perfuming,' briefly answering what was asked. 'Perfum-' (xun) means to bring forth, or to cause to occur; '-ing' (xi) means to produce, to be close to, or to repeat. That is, it brings forth and deposits results within the fundamental consciousness, causing seeds to be produced and brought close, and causing them to be produced and grow. This brief presentation has three parts: first, the four [characteristics] of the perfumed; second, the four [characteristics] of the perfumer; third, that causing seeds to be produced and grow is called perfuming.
