諛讇(羊朱反莊子不擇是非而言謂之諛下丑染反莊子云脪意道言謂之諂何法公羊諂侫也說文諫也經文作諂亦通俗用)。

諛讇: [The first character is] yáng-zhū fan (yú). The Zhuangzi states: "Speaking without discerning right from wrong is called yú (flattery)." The second character is chǒu-rǎn fan (chǎn). The Zhuangzi states: "Adapting one's will and tailoring one's words is called chǎn (to fawn)." He Xiu's commentary on the Gongyang zhuan states: "It means fawning deceit." The Shuowen jiezi states: "It means to remonstrate [falsely]." In the sūtra text it is written as 諂, which is also standard in popular usage.
