13.56

Xunhuan [cycle / circulate] (the first character is fanqie: sui- + -zun; Guo Pu's commentary on the Erya says: 'Xun means to follow.' The Kaosheng says: 'Compliant; good.' Guo Pu also says: 'Xun means to patrol.' The Shuowen says: 'Xun means to walk; composed of chì, fanqie: chou- + -chi, and dùn phonetic.' It also explains that the character dùn is composed of 𠂆, pronounced ye, with 'ten' and 'eye'. Now the sūtra texts mostly write it erroneously with 'person' and a vertical stroke as 偱, which is incorrect. Dùn is pronounced shun. The second character is fanqie: hua- + -wan; Zheng's commentary on the Zhouli says: 'Huan means rotation.' Zheng Xuan says: 'To encircle; to revolve around').
