矛盾（上音謀已見前釋傳文作牟字書從口作𰠧牛聲也非本義今不取矛戈類長丈二尺古文亦從戈作矛音同上下脣準反盾瞂也二字並前高僧傳第一卷已釋訖瞂音伐）。

Spear and shield (矛盾: the first character has the sound móu. It has already been explained above. The transmission's text writes it as 牟. Character dictionaries write it with 口 as 𰠧, which is the bellowing sound of cattle, not the original meaning, so it is not adopted here. The矛 (spear) belongs to the halberd class and is twelve feet long; ancient script also writes it with 戈 as 矛, with the same pronunciation. The second character is fanqie chun + zhun [dùn]; dùn is a shield. Both characters have already been fully explained above in Fascicle 1 of the Biographies of Eminent Monks; the character fá (瞂) has the sound fá).
