沈沔 (The first character has the fanqie 除 + 林. Kong's commentary on the Classic of Documents states that 沈 refers to being dead drunk. Du's commentary on the Zuo zhuan states that 沈 means soaked and wet. Gu Yewang states it means submerged. The Shuowen says it is formed from 水 [water] with 冘 phonetic; 冘 is pronounced 淫. The second character has the fanqie 綿 + 褊. The Kaosheng states that it means indulging excessively in liquor. Kong's commentary on the Classic of Documents states that 沔 means drinking alcohol beyond measure and losing restraint. The Shuowen says it is formed from 水 [water] with 丏 phonetic. In the sūtra it is written with the heart radical as 忱愐, which is incorrect).
