Hearing this, Nezha undid the demon-binding rope, straddled the bull's neck, took hold of the nose with one hand, ran the rope through the nostrils and led him by hand.

Five verbs, and every one of them is the ordinary business of putting a nose-rope on an ox, described exactly. The demon king is handled as livestock by a boy sitting on his neck. 索子 takes the light . Both are jiāng.

Pilgrim Sun gathered the four great Vajras, the Six Ding and Six Jia, the Guardians of the Faith, the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King and the Mighty Spirit General, along with Eight Rules, the local god and the shadow-troops; and they crowded about the white ox and came back to the mouth of the Banana-Leaf Cave.

The chapter's largest sentence of names, and it exists to make one point: it took all of them. in 伽藍 is qié, as before; 六丁 takes dīng; 簇擁著 takes the zhe that keeps the crowding going.


總評 Commentary

The demon king is handled as livestock, and the description is entirely practical: undo the rope, straddle the neck, take the nose, run the rope through the nostrils, lead him. Five verbs, and every one of them is what anyone would do to an ox.

The muster that follows is the chapter's largest sentence of names — four Vajras, the Six Dīng and Six Jiǎ, the Guardians of the Faith, a Heavenly King, a spirit general, Eight Rules, a local god and an army of shades. It exists to make one point, which is that it took all of them.
