65.357

Ghaṇṭī (揵稙: fanqie zhi + zhi; older scriptures mostly wrote it as 揵遲. In Sanskrit, pīṭha-ghaṇṭī; pīṭha means striking, and ghaṇṭī is the wood that is struck, either sandalwood or paulownia. There is no direct translation here because there are no bells or chimes in that land. Present-day scriptures and vinaya texts mostly write 揵椎, which is erroneous.).
