棘莿（上兢力反前唯識論已具釋訖下雌漬反郭注爾雅束茦針也方言凡草木刺人謂之刺也說文木芒也謂木皮外有鑱刺者也苦棗揄枳之類也或作束從艸經作㓨誤也）。

Brambles and thorns (棘莿: the first character has the fanqie j[īng] + [l]ì, which was already fully explained earlier under the Vijñaptimātratā Treatise. The second character has the fanqie c[ī] + [z]ì. Guo's commentary on the Erya states: "'朿茦' (cì cì) are thorns." The Fangyan states: "Whenever herbs and trees pierce people, it is called 刺 (cì)." The Shuowen says: "An awn on trees; meaning there are sharp prickles on the outer bark of trees, of the kind found on wild jujubes, Siberian elms, and trifoliate oranges." It is also written with the grass radical [艸] as 莿. The sūtra writes 㓨, which is an error).
