1.66

Piercing the ribs (穿脇: the second character has the fanqie 許業 [xié]. The Shuowen says: "The two sides of the belly are the ribs (脇)." It is formed from 肉 (flesh) with 劦 as the phonetic component. 劦 has the pronunciation yè; it is formed from three 力 (forces). In the sūtra text it is written with three 刀 (knives) as 刕, which is incorrect).
