述曰:解頌膿河,河中膿滿,得膿河名,非有小膿,名膿河也。如西域中賣蘇人,說「賣蘇瓶」言,滿瓶著蘇并瓶,亦賣言「賣蘇瓶」,非有少蘇,言「賣蘇瓶」。舊言蘇甕,膿河亦爾。

Commentary: Explaining "river of pus" in the verse: because the river is full of pus, it gets the name "river of pus"; it is not that having a little pus is called a "river of pus." Just as sellers of ghee in the Western Regions say "selling a ghee pot" when a pot full of ghee, together with the pot, is sold, saying "selling a ghee pot," not that having a little ghee is called "selling a ghee pot." The older version said "ghee urn"; a river of pus is also like this.
