The \*Shuowen\* writes it as 爪. The sūtra text writes it with the hand radical as 抓 (\*zhāo\*, 側交反 \[t͡ʃˠau\]), which is incorrect. The tip of a finger is a "claw" (爪); below the fingers is the "palm" (掌). In the \*Shuowen\*, the character 掌 has the fanqie 爪 (i.e. reversed 爪 is 爪). > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 12.166](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2128.12.166) - [Next: 12.168](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2128.12.168) - [Up: 12](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2128.12) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2128~en-mt.12.167) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2128.12.167](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2128.12.167) · Pramāṇa
