降澍(朱戍反集訓云時雨所灌澍潤生萬物也經文從雨作霔謬也多是時俗凡情妄作不成字也檢一切字書並無此字非也)。

“Pouring down” (降澍: [澍 is] fanqie 朱 + 戍 [zhù]. The Jixun says: “When timely rain irrigates and soaks, nourishing and generating the myriad things. The sūtra text erroneously writes it with 雨 [rain] as 霔; this is largely a corrupt vulgar invention that does not form a proper character. When checking all character dictionaries, this character does not exist, so it is incorrect”).
