24.20

Non-retrogressing 不𨓤 (fanqie: 吐內 [tuì]; the sūtra writes it with the radical 艮 as 退, which is a vulgar character; "not retrogressing" has the meaning of being resolute and courageously progressing; from the eighth stage upward, it is collectively termed "non-retrogressing"; the Shuowen says: "The sun moving slowly; formed from 日, 久, and 辵; an ideographic character"; it is also written as 𨑧 and 𨔫, both being ancient characters; it also has the pronunciation shuī).
