Galloping and racing: the upper character has the fanqie *chang* + *li*. The *Shuowen* writes it as 駝. The *Guangya* states: '馳 (*chi*) means to gallop.' Gu Yewang states: '馳 means to run.' The *Shuowen* states: 'A large camel.' It has the horse radical (馬) and 它 (pronounced *ta*) as its phonetic component. The sūtra text writes it with 也 as 馳, which is a popular character form. The lower character has the fanqie *chi* + *ling*. The *Guangya* states: '騁 (*cheng*) means to gallop.' Du Yu's commentary on the *Zuo zhuan* states: '騁 means to run.' The *Shuowen* states: 'To drive straight ahead.' It has the horse radical (馬) and 𰀊 (pronounced *pi* + *xia*) as phonetic. The *Shuowen* also explains that the graph 𰀊 is composed of 由 and 丂 (pronounced *kao*). Now in the sūtra text, writing it with 𰀊 as 𩢆 is incorrect.
