15.34

To test and refine (鍊 has the fanqie 蓮奠 [lián + diàn]; not the original character, which properly is 柬; the Kaosheng says: 'To select carefully'; also written as 揀, a vulgar character; in the present sūtra text written as 鍊, the character for smelting and refining gold and iron; though not the original character, it is also accepted).
