20.146

Obstructed (罣礙: the abbreviated character is written 罫, pronounced gua [hu + gua fan], meaning net obstruction. The second character is the ancient character 硋, pronounced ai [wu + dai fan]. The Shuowen states: '礙 means stopped.' It is also written 閡; Guo Pu took this to be the ancient character for 礙. The Shuowen states: '閡 means closed from the outside.' In the sūtra text it is written 㝵, pronounced de [du + le fan]. Examining Wei Hong's imperial collation of ancient character dictionaries, the characters 礙 and 得 share the same graph. The Shuowen states: '得 means taking.' The Shangshu passage 'Emperor Gaozong dreamt that he obtained Yue' is not this meaning).
