To grasp and crush (撮磨) (The first [character] has the fanqie cāng + kuò [cuō]. The Guangya states: 'Cuō means to hold.' Ying Shao's commentary on the Hanshu states: 'Cuō means to pinch with three fingers.' The second [character] has the fanqie mò + hé [mó], meaning to grind down. The Vimalakīrtinirdeśa-sūtra states: 'This body is like a mass of foam, unable to be grasped and crushed.' This means that it is fleeting, illusory, empty, and brittle, impossible to grasp and grind away. The Shuowen states: 'It derives from hand (手) with the phonetic zuì (最)').
