^ Notice that the auto-romanization above apparently represents the pronunciation of 攝然 in this context incorrectly. In Chinese dictionaries, this usage is designated nièrán, not shèrán. Formatting problems when attempting to place this footnote in the text are also why this footnote is placed at the end of the translation.
