櫁木（上民畢反埤蒼云櫁香木名也案櫁木似白檀香木可以取香皆當預斫其木久而乃可香出其銘曰櫁之木其樹甚大欲取其香必彌年歲文字典說亦香木也從木蜜聲經本從必作榓亦通俗用也）。

櫁木 (The upper character is pronounced with the fanqie 民畢 [mì]. The Picang says: "櫁 is the name of a fragrant wood." Note: The mī-wood resembles white sandalwood and can be used to extract perfume. In all cases one must fell the wood in advance, and only after a long time will the fragrance come forth. An inscription says: 'The mī-wood is a very large tree; if one wishes to obtain its fragrance, it must span years.' The Wenzidian shuo also says: 'A fragrant wood. Analyzed as semantic 木 and phonetic 蜜.' The sūtra text writes it with 必 as 榓, which is also commonly accepted in vulgar usage.)
