Fan Ning's Collected Explanations says: "Referring to those who band together to attack and plunder [piāo]." Here its meaning is adopted. The Shuowen says: "Kòu means violent." The Guangya says: "Kòu means to plunder." The character is composed of wán [wholeness] and zhī [branch/beat]. Piāo is pi and miao in fanqie).

These three characters are Sanskrit sounds. In the treatise text, the two characters ai (哀) and yi (壹) are written, which are scribal errors in copying; moreover, one character, wu (隖), has dropped out. The intent of the treatise is to explain the three bodies [kāya] of words, phrases, and syllables [nāmakāya, padakāya, vyañjanakāya], etc. These three are distinct from one another, just like the three characters A, I, and U, analogous to the three eyes on the face of the heavenly king Maheśvara. The Nirvāṇa Sūtra also fully clarifies this principle: their essence is one but their functions differ, and if one is missing, none is possible; together they form a single meaning, termed the three collections of bodies).
