The second character is wū-jiǎ \[fanqie: 烏賈反\]; Picang says 瘂 means mute \[瘖\]; Wenzi jilüe says the mouth being unable to speak; these explanations are all confused and indistinct: upon examination, 瘖 refers to being silent and producing no sound, whereas 瘂 refers to producing sound but being unable to form words because the tongue cannot turn; nowadays sūtra texts mostly write 啞, which is erroneous, pronounced è, the sound of laughing, and laughing is not the meaning of the sūtra). > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 12.38](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2128.12.38) - [Next: 12.40](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2128.12.40) - [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.12.39) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2128.12.39](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2128.12.39) · Pramāṇa
