8.67

Webbing of merits (福鞔: the second character is [pronounced] 母桓 [mán]; the Shuowen says: "To cover over." In my opinion, the Vinaya text says 'hands with the myriad character drawn by a hundred merits', which is the hands with webbed membranes adorned by a hundred merits in various sūtras and vinayas. In the Vinaya text it is written with 車 as 輓, pronounced wǎn; the Shuowen says: 'To pull a cart', which greatly contradicts the meaning of the Vinaya).
