擭堆 (Taking a heap: The first character [擭], pronounced *hong* + *huo* [huò]; to take with the hand. In the sūtra it is written with 國 as 爴; none of the character dictionaries contain this graph. The second character [堆], pronounced *du* + *hui* [duī]. Wang Yi's commentary on the *Chuci* states: '魁堆 means the appearance of a mound.' Guo Pu states: '堆 resembles a sand dune.' The *Gujin zhengzi* states: 'Composed of 土 with 隹 as phonetic').
