59.16

梵行 (*fán-fàn fan. The Sanskrit word is brahma; here rendered 'pure' or 'spotless'; the proper rendering is 'tranquil and quiescent'. Ge Hong's Ziyuan says: "梵 means clean", taking this sense. Thus in the Sanskrit text of the two, it is purāṇa-[dvitīya], which in translation means the former second. The Abhidharma-saṃyuktābhidharma-hṛdaya-śāstra states: "requisites... fan, the second"; this is it).
