6.5

[示*厭]禱 (The upper character has the fanqie 於琰 [y- + -(y)am = yǎn]; the Qieyun says: 'To exorcise or avert evil.' It is formed with the classifier 示 [altar/spirit] and phonetic 厭. In the sūtra text it is written as 厭, pronounced 於豔 [yàn], meaning to abandon or detest, not the character for exorcism. The lower character has the fanqie 都㬶 [d- + -(k)aw = dǎo]; the Qieyun says: 'To pray for blessing.' The Lunyu says: 'Praying to the celestial and terrestrial deities above and below').
