2.39

Placid and tranquil (憺怕: the upper character is tan + lan fan; the lower character is pu + bai fan. The Huainanzi says: 憺 means contented; 怕 means quiet. The sūtra text writes them with the water signific as 淡泊, both of which are incorrect and have different meanings. The Gujin zhengzi says: the two characters 憺 and 怕 both take the heart (心) signific and are phono-semantic characters).
