45.89

Bottom of the box (匳底: the upper character is lián + zhān [lián]. The Kaosheng says: "A lián is like a box with ridges and joints, used to store things." The Gujin zhengzi says: a utensil for holding incense or mirrors. It is formed with fāng 匚 ("box") and qiān 僉 as phonetic component; also written as [(筐-王+僉)*殳]. Fāng has the sound fāng. The sūtra writes 匳, which is a popular and incorrect character).
