55.32

奧胜（上昌咒反月令云其臭腥顧野王云臭氣之惣名也說文云凡犬逐禽走以臭知其跡故從犬從自會意字也亦從歹作殠歹音[歹*又]下音星孔注尚書云胜臭也說文犬膏也從肉生聲經作腥亦通也）。

Aosheng (foul stench and fishy rankness) (the first character has the fanqie: 昌 + 咒 [chòu]; the *Yueling* states: 'Its smell is rank.' Gu Yewang states: 'It is a collective name for foul vapors.' The *Shuowen* states: 'Whenever a hound pursues game on the run, it knows its tracks by scent (chou); hence it takes 犬 and 自 as an associative compound.' It is also written with 歹 as 殠; 歹 has the sound [歹*又]. The second character has the sound xīng; Kong's commentary to the *Shangshu* states: 'Sheng means foul odor.' The *Shuowen* states: 'Dog fat; it takes 肉 as semantic classifier and 生 as phonetic.' In the sūtra it is written as 腥, which is also interchangeable).
