加祜 (bestow blessing; the latter is hu/gu fan; Zheng's notes to the Odes say: '祜 means blessing'; Erya says: 'The source of blessing'; Shuowen jiezi says: 'Composed of 示 with 古 phonetic'; the sūtra also writes it as 祐, pronounced you; Shuowen jiezi says: 'To assist', which also fits the meaning; in the Upper Xici of the Book of Changes, Confucius said: 'That which Heaven assists is obedience; that which people assist is faithfulness'; Shuowen jiezi says: 'Composed of 示 with 右 phonetic'; 示 is pronounced qi).
