木槿榮月(次巾隱反尒雅曰椵木槿也郭注云似李樹孫炎疏云花如蜀葵紫色朝生夕殞也此花夏五月方榮盛也仁王般若念誦儀軌前記云夏四月於南桃園乃譯此經)。

The month when the hibiscus flourishes (木槿榮月: the second character is pronounced *jin* + *yin* [= *jǐn*]; the *Erya* says that the *jia* [椵] is the hibiscus [*mujin*]; Guo's commentary says it resembles a plum tree; Sun Yan's sub-commentary says its flowers are like the hollyhock, purple in colour, blooming in the morning and falling in the evening; this flower flourishes in the fifth summer month; the earlier record of the *Ritual Procedures for Recitation of the Benevolent King Prajñā* states: "In the fourth month of summer, this sūtra was translated in the Southern Peach Garden").
