[The following represents an unverified English translation. For all purposes consult the original Chinese text.]
哦 [o]—Oh — [術語 [shu yu] (shùyǔ)] [?]ga, also written as 誐 [e] (é), 伽 [jia] (qié), [口卉 [kou hui]] (huì), 我 [wo] (wǒ), or 疙 [ge] (gē). It is the third of the guttural sounds (牙聲 [ya sheng] (yáshēng)) among the thirty-five characters of the 悉曇體文 [xi tan ti wen] (Xītán tǐwén) (Siddham script). It is one of the 五十字門 [wu shi zi men] (wǔshí zìmén) (Fifty-Character Gates). The character is recorded as "迦 [jia]" (迦 [jia] (jiā)). The 大日經疏 [da ri jing shu] (Dàrì Jīng Shū) (Commentary on the Mahavairocana Sutra) writes it as "". The 金剛頂經 [jin gang ding jing] (Jīngāng Dǐng Jīng) (Vajrasekhara Sutra) states: "The character gate of 'ga' means that all dharma actions (一切法行 [yi qie fa xing] (yīqiè fǎ xíng)) are unobtainable." The 文殊問經 [wen shu wen jing] (Wénshū Wèn Jīng) (Sutra of Mañjuśrī's Questions) states: "When uttering the character 'ga', it is the profound Dharma sound (甚深法聲 [shen shen fa sheng] (shènshēn fǎshēng))." The 大莊嚴經 [da zhuang yan jing] (Dàzhuāngyán Jīng) (Great Adornment Sutra) states: "When chanting the character 'ga', it emits the profound Dharma sound entering into dependent origination (緣起聲 [yuan qi sheng] (yuánqǐ shēng))." This is explained by Gata (meaning "action" or "going" - 行 [xing] (xíng)) and Gambhira (meaning "profound" - 甚深 [shen shen] (shènshēn)). It is one of the Fifty-Character Gates of Siddham. See the entry for 仰條 [yang tiao] (yǎng tiáo) (仰 [yang]).
