Aid and relieve (濟恤: the second is pronounced with the fanqie 笋律 [xù]. The Book of Documents says: "Only compassion in punishment." Fan Ning's Collected Explanations says: "Xu means compassion and worry." Zheng's commentary on the Rites of Zhou says: "To relieve and pity means to care for the poor." The Shuowen writes it as 卹, stating: "卹 means concern; deriving from 'blood' [血] with 卩 as phonetic." In the sūtra it is written as 恤, which is also commonly accepted).
