奔荼利迦花（古云芬陀利正梵音云本䋈哩迦花唐云白蓮花其花如雪如銀光奪人目甚香亦大多出彼池人間無有䋈音奴雅反）。

奔荼利迦花 (anciently called *fēntuólì*; the correct Sanskrit sound is *běnnálǐjiā* flower [puṇḍarīka]; in the Tang language it is called white lotus; its flower is like snow and like silver, its radiance dazzling to the eyes; it is exceedingly fragrant and also large, mostly growing in that lake, and does not exist in the human realm. 'Ná' (䋈) is *nú* + *yǎ* [fanqie]).
