25.87

Perfumed cultivation (the first character is pronounced *xǔ* + *jūn* fanqie [*xūn*]; the *Qieyun* says it is smoke vapor. Some write it with the herb radical [薰], which has the same pronunciation but refers to a fragrant herb, which is not the meaning here. 修 is pronounced *xī* + *yóu* fanqie [*xiū*]; the *Yupian* says: "To cultivate, to adorn." Sūtras that write it as 脩 are mistaken; it has the same sound but means dried meat strips, which is neither the meaning nor the proper character.)
