The Kaosheng says: xún means calculating; pursuing. The Shuowen writes it as 尋: tracing and unfolding; ordering; it is composed of 'mouth', 彡, and 'work'; mouth and work indicate disorder; the upper part is formed from 又 and the lower from 'inch'. In current clerical script, the 彡 (pronounced shān) is omitted to write 尋, an ideogrammatic compound. In ancient script it is written with 'elbow' as 𡬰). > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 4.122](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2128.4.122) - [Next: 4.124](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2128.4.124) - [Up: 4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2128.4) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2128~en-mt.4.123) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2128.4.123](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2128.4.123) · Pramāṇa
