Indolent and remiss (懈墮: the upper character has the fanqie gé + mài [xiè]; Kaosheng says: 'Indolent and slack'; Jia's commentary on the Guoyu states: 'Xiè means weary'; the popular pronunciation jià is incorrect; throughout the sūtra texts the character 懈 always has this same pronunciation. The lower character has the fanqie tú + wò [duò]; Shuowen jiezi says: 'Disrespectful; derived from 土 "earth" with 隋 phonetic'; the Chunqiu commentary states: 'Those who hold the jade are remiss (duò)').
