6.103

Withered and decayed (衰朽: the first is pronounced with the fanqie 率歸 [shuī]. The Kaosheng says: "Shuai means feeble." The Yunying says: "Slight; depleted." The Shuowen says: "A rain cloak made of grass, a pictographic character." The second is pronounced with the fanqie 休柳 [xiǔ]. Kong's commentary on the Book of Documents says: "Xiu means rotten." The Shuowen writes it with 歹 as [(餐-食)-又+ㄎ], identical to 朽. In the sūtra text it is written with 'wood' [木], which is also commonly accepted).
