1.25

Whetstone-flat palm (砥掌: the upper character has the fanqie 脂履. Du [Yu]'s commentary to the Zuo zhuan says: "Dǐ (砥) means flat." The Cang Jie pian says: "A whetstone." In the sūtra text it is written with [the radical] 'hand' (手) as 抵, meaning to strike, which is not the meaning of 'flat as a whetstone and a palm').
