8.175

善軶 (the fanqie 於 + 革 [è]; the Guiyuan zhucong: "The crossbar at the end of a carriage shaft." The Shuowen: "A carriage yoke; it takes its semantic classifier from 車 [carriage] and 戹 provides the sound." 戹 is pronounced like 厄 [è]; dictionaries note that 戹 is composed of 戶 and 乙. The sūtra uses the popular character 軶. "Not Abandoning the Good Yoke" is the name of a bodhisattva; the "good yoke" is a metaphor for great compassion).
