20.73

毀訾 ("reviling and slandering"; [the latter] fanqie: 咨 + 此. The Han Commentary to the Shijing says: "Zi (訾) is an appearance of wickedness." Guo Pu says: "Worthy men decline while treacherous factions flourish." Various dictionaries take 言 as semantic and 此 as phonetic. The Shuowen writes it with 吅 as 啙 with the same meaning; 吅 is pronounced 喧. In the sūtra text it is written with 口 as 呰, a common and popular character).
