Uṣṇīṣa (肉髻; fanqie g- [古] + -d- [帝]; the Sanskrit word is uṣṇīṣa [嗢瑟尼沙], translated here as "fleshy topknot"; that is, the Wushangyi jing says: "The uṣṇīṣa [鬱尼沙] is the crown bone swelling up, naturally forming a topknot", this is it; sūtra texts writing it with the silk radical as jie (結) are incorrect; wa (嗢) has the fanqie w- [烏] + -m- [沒]").
