「揵撻婆」此云香陰，以其清虛食香，又身唯恒出香，故名香陰。《大智度論》云「揵撻婆王名童籠摩，此云樹，居在地上十寶山中，諸天欲作樂時，身有異相即飛上天，與緊那羅番休上下」。初言「樂」者，無聲之樂也。次是有聲之樂，次是無聲樂中之勝，次是有聲樂中之勝也。

“Gandharva” translates here as “fragrance-skandha,” because of their subtle ethereal nature they feed on fragrance, and their bodies also constantly emit fragrance; hence they are named fragrance-skandha. The Dà zhìdù lùn states: “The king of the gandharvas is named Drumā, which translates as tree. He dwells on the earth within the ten jewel mountains. When the devas wish to make music, an unusual sign appears on his body, and he immediately flies up to heaven, taking turns with the kiṃnaras going up and down.” First, “Music” refers to soundless music. Next is music with sound; next is the superior among soundless music; next is the superior among music with sound.
