5.59

Deceptive and impure (矯穢): (These two are not Sanskrit characters.) The first character is read with the fanqie 居 + 夭; the standard form is written as 撟. Zheng Xuan's commentary on the Zhouli says: '撟 means deceitful.' A character dictionary says: '矯 means to extort.' Written in the sūtra text as 矯 is a vulgar character. The second character is read with the fanqie 迃 (read with the fanqie 於 + 雨) + 衛. The Yunying says: '穢 means vile.' The Kaosheng says: 'Overgrown weeds.'
