It is the flower-down of a Western grass, like the carded thistle-down of this country twisted into thread to make cloth; formed from 毛 (hair) with 疊 as phonetic, or written with the silk radical as 𥿛. Originally there was no such character; the translators of the sūtras invented it as an expedient, so it has no fixed form. The fanqie of the lower character is 力 + 宇 \[lǚ\], namely the thread used by weavers. The Shuowen says: "縷 means thread; formed from 糸 (silk) with 婁 as phonetic." The fanqie of 撚 is 年 + 典 \[niǎn\]). > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 35.32](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2128.35.32) - [Next: 35.34](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2128.35.34) - [Up: 35](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2128.35) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2128~en-mt.35.33) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2128.35.33](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2128.35.33) · Pramāṇa
