16.24

清泠 (Qīnglíng, cool and clear: the lower character has the fanqie Li-ding [líng]. Qīnglíng is the appearance of limpid, clear water. The Shuowen says: 'It takes its classifier from 水 and is phonetic in 令 [lìng].' The sūtra takes its classifier from 氷, which is incorrect. If it is read with the fanqie Le-da [lè], that is not the intention of the sūtra).
