Kanji 随 follow, though, notwithstanding 喜 rejoice, take pleasure in 仰 face-up, look up, depend Similar words 随ずい 喜き Means 'joyful acceptance' or 'rejoicing in the good deeds of others', a component of 随喜渇仰 but less intense and without the longing nuance.
渇かつ 仰ごう Means 'thirsting for' or 'longing for' (especially religious truth), the other component of 随喜渇仰, emphasizing the yearning aspect.
Etymology A yojijukugo of Buddhist origin, combining 随喜 (joyful acceptance) and 渇仰 (thirsting reverence). The exact historical derivation is uncertain, but it is conventionally associated with deep religious devotion.
