7.41

[Zhenyue] Dharma Master Ying says: "This translates as 'clothing'; it should mean bedding." The Shiming states: "Garments worn above are called yi. Yi means to rely upon (yi), because they shelter one from cold and heat." The Zuo Tradition states: "Robes are the emblems of the body. The upper is called yi, the lower is called shang." The Baihu tong states: "Yi means to conceal (yin). Shang means to shield (zhang). They serve to conceal the body and shield oneself." The Mahāparinirvāṇa Sūtra states: "Like the robes and skirts of the world, shielding and covering the physical body."
