3.172

【分陀利】此云白蓮華。叡師云：「未敷名屈摩羅；將落名迦摩羅；處中盛時名分陀利。體逐時遷，名隨色變，故有三名。」

[Puṇḍarīka]: Translated here as "white lotus flower." Master Rui says: "Before it opens, it is called kumala (kumula); when about to fall, it is called kamala; at its prime in the middle, it is called puṇḍarīka. As its substance changes with time, its name changes with its colour; hence it has three names."
