62.433

Compile and collect [纂集]: The first character (zuan + guan [zuǎn]) is explained in the Kaosheng: 'Zuǎn also means to collect. Mahākāśyapa compiled and collected the sacred teachings spoken by the Tathāgata and rehearsed them into the Tripiṭaka; this was called zuǎnjí.' The Shuowen states: 'Zuǎn resembles a woven ribbon of red and black; formed with "silk" [糸] as radical and [𮅕] as phonetic.' [𮅕] is pronounced [𮅕].
