75.6

Frivolous joy [僄樂] (the first character is pronounced *pi* + *miao* [piào]. The *Fangyan* states: 'Piao means light.' In the region of Jing and Chu, lightness is called *piao*. The sūtra text erroneously wrote it as 𭀅, combining "person" [人] and "music" [樂]. The ancient character for *piao* took "person" [人], "fontanel" [囟], and "fire" [火] to make 𠑎; copyists did not recognise it and simply wrote it with *piao* [票], which is a severe mistake. The *Shuowen* states: 'Piao means light; it takes "person" [人] as semantic classifier and has *piao* [票] as phonetic component.' Nowadays, popular script alters the "fire" [火] to "small" [小]).
