40.13

拯濟 ('to save and deliver'; the first character takes the rising tone of the character 䒱; Du's commentary on the Zuo zhuan says: '拯 [zheng] means to assist'; the Fangyan says: '拯 [zheng] means pulling someone out from drowning'; the Shuowen says: 'The orthodox character is 抍, meaning to lift upward; it is formed from 手 with [廾-┬+下] as phonetic'; the sūtra text writes 䒱, pronounced with the fanqie 軄 [zhi] + 仍 [reng], which is incorrect; we do not accept it here).
