15.147

Falling to the ground (躃地; *pí* + *bì* fanqie. The *Jixun* states: "*Bì* means to stumble/fall; derived from the *zú* (foot) radical with *pì* as phonetic." The sūtra text writes it with the *rén* (person) radical as 僻, which is incorrect, for that is the character for sycophantic (*biànpì*). The *Kaosheng* states: "Neither tall nor short, bearing oneself lightly and easily," not the word for falling down. Also pronounced *pǐ* + *yì* fanqie, meaning secluded/deviant, which diverges entirely from the meaning of the sūtra).
