僥倖 (the first character has the fanqie: 皎 + 堯; the second character has the fanqie: 行 + 耿; the Kaosheng says: "僥 means to seek beyond one's due." The Book of Rites says: "To hope for; to wish for." Cai Yong's Duduan says: "Those favored and intimately loved by the sovereign are called [乏-之+(((嘹-口)-小)-日+手)]." Also, in the Book of Rites Confucius says: "The petty person walks along dangerous paths hoping for lucky breaks (憿[乏-之+(((嘹-口)-小)-日+手)])." The Shuowen says: "It is classified under heart (心) and takes 敫 as phonetic." 敫 is pronounced 要. Sometimes written with 彳 as 徼. In the text of the sūtra it is written with person (亻) as 僥, which is a vulgar usage and not the proper character. The Gujin zhengzi says: "The character 倖 is classified under person (亻) and takes [乏-之+(((嘹-口)-小)-日+手)] as phonetic; sometimes written with woman (女) as [女*(乏-之+(((嘹-口)-小)-日+手))], or as [(乖-北+(人*人))/一/十], which are also acceptable.")
