Begging (乞匃: the second character has the fanqie ge-ai; the Cangjiepian states that 匃 means going about begging, to seek and ask for; the Shuowen states that it is formed from 'person' [人] and 'lost' [亾], meaning when a person has lost goods and wealth, they go about begging; for the sūtra to write it as 丐 is incorrect).
