8.325

兇勃 [Violent and unruly] (The first character is xu + gong fan. The Yun[ying] says: 'A crude person.' The Kaosheng says: '兇 means evil; fearful.' It is also read in the rising tone. The Shuowen says: 'Disorder and terror.' It is from 人 [person] below 兇. The Chunqiu zhuan says: 'The armored soldiers were terrified (兇懼),' which is this. The second character is pu + mo fan. The Liji says: '悖 means rebellious.' The Shuowen says: '悖 means chaotic.' It is from 心 [heart] with 孛 as phonetic. In the sūtras it is written with 力 as 勃: 勃 means robust; vigorous; this is also acceptable).
