庭燎（下曆弔反禮曰邦之大事供燌燭庭燎鄭眾曰燎火燭也以麻為之樹於門外曰大燭於門內曰庭燎皆所以照象為明也又曰門燎地燭也經文從金作錠非也郭注爾雅云錠鋤屬也廣雅曰錠謂之耨即農具也甚乖經意）。

庭燎 (Second character, fanqie: 曆 + 弔. The Liji states: 'For major affairs of the state, burnt torches and courtyard bonfires (庭燎) are provided.' Zheng Zhong states: 燎 means a fire torch, made of hemp; set up outside the gate it is called a great torch, set up inside the gate it is called a courtyard bonfire; both serve to provide illumination. It also states: gate bonfires are ground torches. The sūtra text written with the 'metal' radical as 錠 is incorrect. Guo [Pu's] commentary on the Erya states: a 錠 is a kind of hoe. The Guangya states: a 錠 is called a weeder (耨), which is an agricultural implement; this departs greatly from the meaning in the sūtra.)
