綩綖(於遠反下以旃反假借字也若取字義即乖經意案綩綖地褥也即舞筵也俗呼為地衣毛錦是也)。

綩綖 [floor mats] (The first is fanqie: 於 + 遠; the second is fanqie: 以 + 旃. These are phonetic loan characters; taking their literal meaning would violate the sūtra's intent. We note that *wanyian* means a floor mat, that is, a dancing carpet, popularly called 'floor clothing' [rugs] or wool brocade).
