不瞚（水閏反莊周云終日視而不瞚說文云開闔目數搖也從目寅聲也或作瞬俗字也古作𰕼經從目從旬作眴音舜非也不成字案說文眴旬並音縣眴視皃譯經者音舜殊不曉字之本源道聽而途說錯用也）。

> Unblinking (不瞚: the lower character has the fanqie shuǐ + rùn \[shùn\]; Zhuang Zhou states: 'Gazing all day without blinking (shùn)'; Shuowen jiezi states: 'Opening and closing the eyes in rapid motion; derived from 目 "eye" with 寅 phonetic'; it is also written as 瞬, a vulgar character; in ancient script written as 𰕼; the sūtra derives it from 目 with 旬 as 眴, pronouncing it shùn, which is incorrect and does not form a proper character. Examining Shuowen jiezi, 眴 and 旬 are both pronounced xuàn; 眴 is the appearance of looking; the sūtra translators pronounced it shùn, completely failing to understand the character's original source, picking it up on the road and speaking it in the streets, mistakenly using it).
