Commentary by Yoshitaro Ueda (2008)
From Michi no Dai: Foundation of the Path 33:62
After the sweeping is completed, the path will be broad as well as free of dust or mud. It will then be possible to take any number of people along the path, and indeed the verse says to “take along with you as many others as you wish.”
Incidentally, we read the phrase “ひろくで” (hirokude) in the original as “hirokute,” understanding the letter “で” (de) as “て” (te).
