芬馥（上芳文反考聲云芬芬香氣貌也說文土草初生香氣分布也本從屮音丑列反今或從草分聲也經文有從气作氛音墳祥氣也非經義有從香作馚不成字非也下馮福反韓詩云芬馥者香氣貌也從香复聲也）。

Fragrant and sweet-smelling (芬馥: the first is pronounced with the fanqie 芳文 [fēn]. The Kaosheng says: "Fenfen describes a fragrant aroma." The Shuowen says: "The fragrance diffusing when earth and grasses first sprout; originally deriving from 屮 [pronounced with the fanqie 丑列, chè]; nowadays it is also written with 'grass' [艸] with 分 as phonetic." In the sūtra text some write it with vapor [气] as 氛, pronounced fén, meaning auspicious vapor, which is not the sūtra's meaning; some write it with 'fragrance' [香] as 馚, which is an invalid character and incorrect. The second is pronounced with the fanqie 馮福 [fù]. The Han Commentary on the Classic of Poetry says: "Fenfu describes a fragrant aroma; deriving from 'fragrance' [香] with 复 as phonetic").
