57.32

睡眠 ('sleeping'; the first character is pronounced with the fanqie 垂 + 類. The second character is pronounced with the fanqie 蔑 + 邊. The Cangjie pian says: "'Shuimian' (睡眠) means sound sleep." Wang Yi's commentary on the Chuci says: "'Mian' (眠) also means lying down." Gu Yewang says: "It means slumber (寐)." The Shuowen states that both are formed from [the radical] 目, with 垂 and 民 respectively as their phonetic components. The sūtra text writes 瞑, which is incorrect).
