5.147

Turbulent and wicked (勃惡) (The first character has the fanqie pu + mo [b-]. Zheng Xuan's commentary on the Liji says: 'Bo (勃) means rebellious.' The Shuowen says: 'Bo means chaotic.' The second character has the fanqie e + ge [è]. The Shuowen says: 'E (惡) means fault; derived from xin (heart) with ya as phonetic.' In sūtra texts it is often written with 覀 as 𢙣, which is a vulgar character).
