惇肅（上都昆反。賈注國語云惇撲也大也方言信也爾雅說文皆厚也從心[古/日/羊]聲也[古/日/羊]音純[古/日/羊]字說文從畗畗音享下從羊今經文從文作敦猶迫也。非經義從心作惇正也。下嵩育反。孔注尚書云肅敬也嚴也。爾雅肅肅泰也謚法曰強德剋義曰肅執心决斷曰肅。說文持事謹敬也從𦘒𦘒音躡從𣶒音淵𦘒在淵上戰戰兢兢肅然懼而嚴敬也。會意字也。後文第四百七十卷中亦同此釋也）。

惇肅 [sincere and solemn] (The first character has the fanqie [都+昆] dūn. Jia's commentary on the Guoyu says: dūn means simple and large. The Fangyan says it means trustworthy. Both the Erya and the Shuowen state it means generous; it is composed of 'heart' with [古/日/羊] phonetic; [古/日/羊] has the sound chún. The Shuowen notes [古/日/羊] has 畗 [xiǎng] with 'sheep' underneath. In the present sūtra text it is written with 'pattern' as 敦, which means pressed or urgent; this is not the meaning intended by the sūtra. Writing it with 'heart' as 惇 is correct. The second character has the fanqie [嵩+育] sù. Kong's commentary on the Shangshu says: sù means reverent and solemn. The Erya says: sùsù means peaceful. The Shifa says: 'Firm virtue overcoming righteousness is called sù; holding the mind with decisive resolve is called sù.' The Shuowen says: 'attending to affairs with cautious reverence'; it is composed of 𦘒 (pronounced niè) and 𣶒 (pronounced yuān); 𦘒 over an abyss indicates trembling with fear, solemnly reverent in awe; it is an ideogrammatic compound. It is explained in the same way below in fascicle 470).
