4.56

Echo in a valley (谷響: [響 is] pronounced *x[iang]* + *[l]iang* [xiǎng]. The *Kaosheng* says: "An echo is the response of sound." Kong [Anguo]'s commentary to the *Shangshu* says: "Like an echo responding to a sound." The *Shuowen [jiezi]* says it is classified under sound (音) with *xiang* (鄉) phonetic; it is also written 響, or classified under speech (言) as 譍. In the sūtra it is written with *xiang* (向) as 嚮, which is incorrect).
