一名體會異。夫言葷辛。是為二義（葷臭辛辣）葷而非辛。如臭菜阿魏是也。辛而非葷。芥薑是也。是葷是辛。五辛是也。梵網云大蒜（天台疏云。葫菱廣韻作胡荽）茖葱（薤也音格廣韻山葱）慈葱（葱之正名）蘭葱（小蒜）興渠（葱蒺也。生熟皆臭。葉如蔓菁。其臭如蒜。經音義云。生于闐國。應法師云。烏荼國人常食。即阿魏）雜阿含云革葱（茖同）慈葱（葱）木葱（非小蒜即韮）蒜（大蒜）興渠（此五出梵網也）涅槃經葱韭薤（但列三名）楞伽經葱韭薤蒜（但列四名。不出興渠而加以韭若蒜分大小則仍有五名）此方言五辛。當云葱韭薤大蒜小蒜如楞伽所列云。

> 1. Understanding Differences in Names and Substances. Now, when we speak of 'foul' and 'pungent', these are two distinct meanings (foul refers to fetid reek; pungent refers to acridity). Things that are foul but not pungent: for example, fetid vegetables and asafoetida (awei). Things that are pungent but not foul: mustard and ginger. Things that are both foul and pungent: the five pungents. The Brahmajāla Sūtra lists: garlic (da suan; the Tiantai commentary states: 'coriander \[huling\], written in the Guangyun as husui'), scallions (ge cong; jia, pronounced ge; the Guangyun calls it 'mountain scallion'), regular onions (ci cong; the proper name for onion), leeks (lan cong; small garlic), and asafoetida (xingqu; congji; whether raw or cooked it is foul, with leaves like mustard greens and a reek like garlic; the Jingyin yi states it grows in Khotan; Master Huilin says the people of Uḍḍiyāna frequently consume it, which is asafoetida). The Samyuktāgama lists: ge cong (the same as ge), ci cong (onions), mu cong (if not small garlic, then Chinese chives), suan (garlic), and xingqu (these five derive from the Brahmajāla). The Nirvāṇa Sūtra lists cong, jiu, and xie (listing only three names). The Laṅkāvatāra Sūtra lists cong, jiu, xie, and suan (listing only four names; it omits xingqu and adds jiu; if garlic is divided into large and small, there are still five names). In the vernacular of this land, the five pungents should be designated as: onions, Chinese chives, shallots, large garlic, and small garlic, as listed in the Laṅkāvatāra.
