28.109

[牛*夒]馴 (Two fanqie: *ru* + *xiao* [rǎo] and *ru* + *zhao* [rào]. [牛*夒] means peaceful. The Shuowen says: 'A docile and cautious ox is called [牛*夒]'; hence the character takes the ox radical. The lower character has the fanqie *si* + *jun* [xún]. The Guangya says: '馴 means tame; it also means compliant.' The Shuowen says: 'Raising birds and beasts to make them obedient and practiced is called 馴.' In the sūtra text it is written with the hand radical as 擾, and the lower character is written as 循; these are not the correct character forms).
