卍

(sa) sauvastika, 塞縛悉底迦; also styled 室利靺瑳 (sa) śrīvatsa, lucky sign, Viṣṇu's breast-curl or mark, tr. by 海雲 sea-cloud, or cirrhus. Used as a fancy form of 萬 or 萬; and is also written in a form said to resemble a curl. It is the 4th of the auspicious signs in the footprint of Buddha, and is a mystic diagram of great antiquity. To be distinguished from 卐(sa) svastika, the crampons of which turn to the right.
