63.12

Clamorous and bustling [猥閙]: The first character (wei + wei [wěi]) is explained in the Cang Jie pian: 'Wěi means sudden/abundant.' The Guangya states: 'A multitude.' The Kaosheng states: 'Irregular and crowded.' The Shuowen states: 'The sound of dogs barking; hence formed with "dog" [犬] as radical and wèi [畏] as phonetic.' The second character (na + [𰋶] [nào]) is a vulgar character. It has already been fully explained in Fascicle Forty-Four of the Sarvāstivāda Vinaya.
