秉顯(上兵永反爾雅曰秉拱執也說文云手持一禾曰秉下呼典反說文玉篇字林並云光也明也案經云五智秉顯宜作炳或作昞字未詳秉顯義)。

秉顯: The upper [character is read with the] fanqie bing + yong. The Erya states: 'Bing (秉) means to grasp with folded hands, to hold.' The Shuowen jiezi states: 'Holding a stalk of grain in hand is called bing.' The lower [character is read with the] fanqie hu + dian. The Shuowen jiezi, Yupian, and Zilin all state: 'Luster; bright.' Examining the sūtra, it says 'the five wisdoms are bingxian (秉顯)'; it ought to be written as bing (炳) or written as bing (昞); the meaning of bingxian (秉顯) is not clear.
