Unblinking (不瞚: the lower character has the fanqie 水閏. The Shuowen says: "Shùn means the eyes repeatedly opening, closing, and fluttering. Formed with [the semantic element] mù (目) and also phonetic yín (寅)." Colloquially written as 瞬, in ancient script as 眒. In the present sūtra text it is written with 'eye' (目) and xún (旬) as 眴, which is also acceptable. The Lu Annals of the Spring and Autumn says: "Ten thousand generations are like a single blink of an eye (眴)").
