25.78

Destroying birth and death (壞 is pronounced *guāi* + *bài* fanqie [*huài*]; it refers to applying effort to destroy it and make it break. If pronounced *huái* + *bài* fanqie [*huái*], it means breaking of its own accord. Here the meaning takes the former, which properly should be written with the character 𢹂.)
