歌唄（蒲介反梵云婆師此云讚嘆婆音蒲賀反先云唄匿訛也此乃西域三契聲如室路挐所作是也宣驗記陳思王曹植登魚山忽聞巖岫有誦經聲清婉遒亮遠谷流響遂依擬其聲而制梵唄至今傳之唄亦近代字無所從也）。

Singing hymns (唄: *bu-kɛy* [fanqie: 蒲介], in Sanskrit bhāṣā, translated here as praise/eulogy; the syllable 婆 is *bu-ha* [fanqie: 蒲賀]. The earlier rendering 唄匿 is erroneous. This refers to the three-section chanting style of the Western Regions, such as that composed by Śroṇa. The Xuanji ji states: 'Cao Zhi, Prince Si of Chen, ascended Mount Yu and suddenly heard the sound of sūtra-chanting echoing from the crags and ravines, limpid and melodious, forceful and clear, reverberating far through the valley. He thereupon modelled a sound upon it and composed Sanskrit hymns (fanbai), which have been transmitted to this day.' The character 唄 is also of recent origin and has no classical derivation).
