璫𨎶（上音當埤蒼璫克耳也釋名云穿耳施珠曰璫下音渠耳𨎶也考聲云𨎶車輪也案耳𨎶似輪西國國王及貴勝皆以金銀妙寶作耳𨎶著穿耳之處猶如寶輪以雜寶廁其間以為嚴飾經文作渠借用）。

Ear pendants and ear-wheels (璫𨎶: the upper character [pendant (璫)] is pronounced 當 [dāng]. The Picang says: '璫 pierces the ear.' The Shiming says: 'Piercing the ear and suspending a pearl is called 璫.' The lower character [ear-wheel (𨎶)] is pronounced 渠 [qú]; it refers to an ear-ornament (kuṇḍala). The Kaosheng says: '𨎶 means a cartwheel.' Examining this, an ear-ornament resembles a wheel; in the Western countries, kings and noble dignitaries all fashion ear-ornaments out of gold, silver, and wondrous jewels, wearing them through the pierced ears just like precious wheels, embellished with assorted gems set between them. The sūtra text writing 渠 is a borrowed character).
