32.9

瑕薉 (upper: *hæ* + *kæ* [xiá]: The *Liji* says: 'Flaw (瑕) is a defect in jade.' The *Guangya* says: 'A fissure; also filth.' The *Shuowen jiezi* says: 'A small reddish spot in jade; follows the jade radical with the phonetic *jiǎ* (叚).' Lower: pronounced *huì* [wèi]: Gu Yewang says: '薉 means unclean.' Wang [Yi]'s commentary on the *Chuci* says: 'Bad.' The *Guangya* says: 'Overgrown.' The *Shuowen jiezi* says: 'Follows the grass radical with the phonetic *suì* (歲).' The sūtra writes 穢, which is also interchangeable).
