暗冥(上阿紺反說文云日無光也或作闇下莫瓶反孔注尚書云冥夜也考聲幽暗也說文幽也從月六日數十六日而月始虧幽暗也從昗冖聲也冖音覓經從具作冥非也)。

Murky darkness (暗冥: the upper character has the fanqie ē + gàn [àn]; Shuowen jiezi states: 'The sun without light'; it is also written as 闇. The lower character has the fanqie mò + píng [míng]; Kong's commentary on the Shangshu states: 'Míng means night'; Kaosheng says: 'Murky and dark'; Shuowen jiezi says: 'Obscure; derived from the moon's six days; on the sixteenth day the moon begins to wane and becomes obscure and dark; derived from 昗 with 冖 phonetic'; 冖 is pronounced mì; in the sūtra text it is written with 具 as 冥, which is incorrect).
