In "盛りなる御代", how do you read "盛"


"盛りなる御代..." It's from Genjimonogatari.

My two cadidates are either もる ·さかる, so "mori-naru" ro "sakari-naru".

I can tell the meaning of the word, but I'm not sure which way I should read
in this context, and in this specific book.




[さかる](http://jisho.org/search/%E7%9B%9B%20%E3%81%95%E3%81%8B%E3%82%8B) is
translated by jisho.org as `to prosper; to flourish,` and
[もる](http://jisho.org/word/%E7%9B%9B%E3%82%8B-1) is `to serve/to pile up.`

The definition you want there is definitely `to prosper; to flourish` since 御代
is [defined](http://jisho.org/word/%E5%BE%A1%E4%B8%96) as an `imperial reign.`

Putting it together, 盛り{さかり｝なる御代｛みよ｝ is a prosperous imperial reign.
