寶鐸 (For the first character, 寶, the orthodox form is formed from 宀 (pronounced mián), 王, 缶 (with the fanqie fǔ-gǒu), and 貝. The sūtra text nowadays writing it with 珍 as 寳 is a popular character, not the orthodox form. The second character has the fanqie táng-luò [duó]. Zheng's commentary on the Rites of Zhou says: "A large bell." Kong Anguo says: "A metal bell with a wooden clapper used to proclaim cultural teachings").
