Holding the alms-bowl (拓鉢: the first [character] is *tuo*, fanqie 他各. The Qieyun says: 'To support an object with the hand.' The second [character] is *bo*, fanqie 北末. Character dictionaries also write it as 𥁊, which is identical; that is, an alms-bowl vessel. The Biography of Fotudeng says: 'Fotudeng burned incense and incanted over the bowl, and in an instant blue lotuses grew.' The Western Regions Gazette says: 'The Buddha's alms-bowl is in the country of Gandhāra').
