28.35

Tribulus / puncture vine (蒺䔧): For the upper [character], the fanqie is 自栗 [jí]; for the lower, the fanqie is 力尸 [lí]. The Erya says: '薋 is the 蒺䔧.' It spreads along the ground, creeping and trailing, and its seeds have three spines. The sūtra text writes it as 𨪏錤, which has no known textual basis. 錤 has the pronunciation 基 [jī]; a 鎡錤 is a hoe, which is not what is used here.
