Dhutā (抖藪; the first character is [pronounced with the] fanqie dé + [k]ǒu. The second character is [pronounced with the] fanqie sāng + [h]òu. The Kaosheng says: “Dǒusǒu means to shake one's garments.” The Shuowen says: “To lift upwards and shake it. It takes shǒu ‘hand’ as semantic classifier and dǒu as phonetic.” In Sanskrit it is called dhūta, or dhotā; in the Tang language it is called dǒusǒu. It refers to śramaṇas, the sons of Śākya, practicing the practice of seclusion, having few desires and being content, not being greedy or attached, and disciplining the body in ascetic practice. The scriptural text writes it as 揀, which is erroneous. It is a phono-semantic character with shǒu ‘hand’ as semantic classifier).
