天諸婬女(婬以招反玉篇云婬遊戲也或作娙五耕反切韻長好貌也或作娙女以心反節是會色之流非前廣自等也三字相似三義亦兼任情取捨後多不取)。

Courtesans among the gods (婬 has the fanqie 以 + 招; the Yupian says: 婬 means roaming and sporting. It is also written 娙 with the fanqie 五 + 耕; the Qieyun says it is the appearance of tallness and beauty. Or written 娙女 with the fanqie 以 + 心. This denotes the class of courtesans, not the broader self-indulgence mentioned earlier. The three characters are similar, and the three meanings are also combined; one may accept or reject them at will, but later [authors] mostly do not adopt them).
