[土*未]香 (mǎn bō fan [mò]; the Guangya says: "[土*未] means dust." Note: powdered incense is made by blending several fragrant aromatics and pounding them into powder, which is scattered in the bodhimanda, rubbed onto the body, hands, and face, and sprinkled into garments, hence called powdered incense. It is widely used in foreign lands, and nowadays people in this country sometimes imitate it. The sūtra writing it with 米 as 粖 is incorrect).
