9.207

偃蹇 (three fanqie readings: 居 + 免, 紀 + 偃, 巨 + 偃. The Zuozhuan says: '偃蹇 means proud and arrogant'. The Guangya says: '偃蹇 means swaggering and haughty', referring to the manner of esteeming oneself high and great. The Shiming says: '偃 means resting and lying down, not attending to duties; 蹇 means lame, diseased and unable to work; here it is used metaphorically for such a posture'. 撟 is pronounced in fanqie: 几 + 小. In the sūtra text it is written with the person radical as 𠐻, which is an error).
