   • 1465, 원각경언해 (Wongakgyeong Eonhae), volumes 1-2-1, translation of original in Literary Chinese, page 48b:

     經文(겨ᇰ문)에 ᄌᆡ ᄂᆞ로ᄆᆞᆯ 몬져 니ᄅᆞ샤ᄆᆞᆫ 飜譯(번역)이 갓ᄀᆞ니 一定(일뎌ᇰ)히 반ᄃᆞ기 이 ᄂᆡ 몬져 滅(멸)커든 나ᄆᆞᆫ ᄌᆡ ᄂᆞ라 흗ᄂᆞ니라

     [original: 經文에 先云灰飛ᄂᆞᆫ 譯之倒也ㅣ니 定合是煙이 先滅커든 餘灰ᅟㅣ 飛散ᄒᆞᄂᆞ니라]

     The reason why the scripture mentions the blowing ashes first is because the translation is backwards - only after smoke disappears can ashes blow and disperse.
