網鞔指(次莫安反謂佛指間宍上如細羅文如彼鵞鴈之足也因中以四攝取眾生故得此相鞔字從革免聲經作縵音莫晏反非也)。

Webbed fingers and toes (wǎngmánzhǐ; the second character has the fanqie m[ò] + [ān]; it refers to the webbed flesh between the Buddha’s fingers and toes being like fine gauze mesh, resembling the feet of geese and swans; this mark was attained because on the causal stage he drew in sentient beings through the four means of embracing; mán is written with the leather radical and miǎn phonetic; the sūtra’s variant with the silk radical, pronounced m[ò] + [y]àn, is incorrect).
