煒燁（上韋鬼反古今正字云赤色盛也毛詩傳亦赤貌也下炎劫反廣雅云燁亦光明也郭注方言亦盛也說文煒燁震電光也二字並從火韋[日/((傘-(企-止))-┬+ㄎ)]皆聲也[日/((傘-(企-止))-┬+ㄎ)]音同上經從曰作暐曄俗字也）。

Weiye (brilliant and blazing) (the first character has the fanqie: 韋 + 鬼 [wěi]; the *Gujin zhengzi* states: 'Abundance of red colour.' The Mao Commentary to the *Shijing* also says: 'Appearance of redness.' The second character has the fanqie: 炎 + 劫 [yè]; the *Guangya* states: 'Ye also means bright light.' Guo's commentary to the *Fangyan* also says it means abundant. The *Shuowen* states: 'Weiye means the flash of lightning.' Both characters take 火 as semantic classifier, with 韋 and [日/((傘-(企-止))-┬+ㄎ)] respectively as phonetics. [日/((傘-(企-止))-┬+ㄎ)] has the same pronunciation as above. The sūtra writes them with 日 as 暐曄, which are popular variants).
