5.68

Ucchuṣma (烏樞瑟摩) (the second character is chang + zhu fan [chū]; a Sanskrit word, also written 烏蒭沙摩. Translated here as Impurity-Traces [穢跡]; old translations as Unclean [不淨潔] are mistaken; the new translation is the Wrathful Honoured One who Cleanses Impurities [除穢忿怒尊]. According to Yoga, bodies are manifested based on two kinds of wheels to gather and transform: first, the wheel of teaching [cakarāṇi], manifesting an upright and dignified body; second, the wheel of wrathful awe, manifesting an extremely terrifying body; to tame sentient beings who are hard to tame, a frightening body is manifested).
