20.23

Steep and perilous (峻險: upper character is *xun-jun* fanqie; Kong [Anguo]'s commentary on the *Shangshu* says: *jun* is the appearance of being lofty and great; Guo [Pu]'s commentary on the *Erya* says: *jun* means tall; the *Shuowen jiezi* writes 峻 and says: the appearance of being lofty and perilous; it derives from 山 with 陖 as phonetic; the character dictionaries write 𡺲, and also 陖 or 埈; now the sūtra writes 峻; the *Gujin zhengzi* says 𡺲 is sometimes abbreviated; 夋 is pronounced *qi-xun* fanqie; lower character is *xie-yan* fanqie; the *Zhouyi* says: earthly peril refers to mountains, rivers, and hillocks; Gu Yewang says: *xian* is like an obstruction; the *Shuowen jiezi* says: *xian* means difficult; it derives from 𨸏 with 僉 as phonetic; the sūtra text writes it with 山 as 嶮, which is incorrect).
