The second is pronounced \[甘 + 合\] \*g-\*. The Shuogua of the Yijing says: 'Li is the turtle, the crab, the spiral shell, and the bivalve mussel.' The Lüshi chunqiu says: 'When the moon is full, clams and oysters are full; when the moon is waning, clams and oysters diminish.' The Shuowen says: 'The bivalve mussel belongs to the class of large clams. It takes the radical chóng and the phonetic fēng; fēng is pronounced ěr.' In the treatise text it is written with fèng as 蜯, which is incorrect. There are many kinds of oysters; here we briefly mention two or three, using these as examples to illustrate sufficiently that transformations are endless and unfathomable. The Liji says: 'In the last month of autumn, sparrows enter the great waters and transform into oysters.' Zheng Xuan says: 'The great waters are the sea.' The Shuowen also says: 'The oyster is transformed from a thousand-year-old snipe-like bird.' The Fangyan says: 'Qin called them oysters; sea oysters are transformed from hundred-year-old swallows; the giant oyster, also named pùluó, is transformed from an old bat.' Furthermore, pheasants transform into giant clams, and mandarin ducks also transform, amounting to several tens of kinds. Some reproduce one from another through their mothers; all are brought into being through the karmic influx of responsive transformation, endless and inexhaustible). > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 66.147](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2128.66.147) - [Next: 66.149](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2128.66.149) - [Up: 66](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2128.66) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2128~en-mt.66.148) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2128.66.148](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2128.66.148) · Pramāṇa
