75.15

Bared and naked [袒裸] (the first character is pronounced *tang* + *lan* [tǎn]. The *Kaosheng* states: 'An upper-shoulder garment.' The *Zuozhuan* mentions 'flesh bared' [肉袒]. The *Liji* states: 'When toiling, do not bare the body.' Zheng Xuan says: 'It means uncovering the left shoulder.' The *Shuowen* states that written with 亶 and 肉 it is 膻, glossed also as baring the body. Here we follow the *Tongsuwen* in using the classifier for "clothing" [衣]. The second character is pronounced *lang* + *guo* [luǒ]. The *Wenzi dianshuo* writes it with "person" [人] as 倮, meaning to strip off clothes and expose the body. In popular pronunciation it is *hua* + *wa* [huà]. It is also written with "body" [身] as 躶; the pronunciation is the same, and both are phono-semantic characters. In the sūtra both characters are written with 月 and 旦 as 胆腂, which do not form valid characters. In copying the canon, they should properly be corrected to the orthodox forms as explained above).
