25.359

求請眾僧（請字通於三音若用平聲受賜也若用上聲諮問也若用去聲召喚也今此請僧即當召喚其字正體應作靚並依玉篇也）。

Requesting and inviting the saṅgha (求請眾僧: The character 請 has three pronunciations: in the level tone, it means receiving a grant; in the rising tone, it means inquiring; in the departing tone, it means summoning. Here, "requesting the saṅgha" corresponds to summoning; the standard character should be written as 靚, both following the *Yupian*).
