蠃髻(上倮戈反下鷄詣反考聲云綰髮為髻也即如來髮右旋如蠃文成髻也經文從虫作螺俗字也)。

Spiral topknot (蠃髻; the first character has the fanqie 倮戈 [lu- + -ǒ]; the second has the fanqie 鷄詣 [j- + -ì]; the Kaosheng says: "Binding the hair to make a chignon; this refers to the Tathāgata's hair turning to the right like spiral conch patterns to form a topknot"; in the sūtra text it is written with 'insect' (虫) as 螺, which is a vulgar character).
