35.37

嚴潔 [Solemn and pure] (The fanqie of the upper character is 儼 + 杴 [yán]. The Shuowen says: "Instructional commands being urgent; formed from 吅 (pronounced xuān) with 𠪚 as phonetic." The fanqie of 𠪚 is 岌 + 今 [yán], and also pronounced with the fanqie 讖 + 吟 [qīn]. The lower character 潔 is pronounced 結 [jié]. Zheng's commentary on the Liji says: "潔 means pure." The Posthumous Titles (Shifa) says: "Not practicing what is unrighteous is called 潔." The Liji also says: "Tranquil, subtle." Formed from 水 (water) with 絜 as phonetic; the pronunciation is the same as above. The sūtra text has a variant reading of 嚴毅, which is incorrect. Character books say: "Killing the enemy is called resolute (果); carrying out resoluteness is called firm (毅)." This completely contradicts the sūtra's meaning, so it is not adopted).
