4.154

泛漾 (Drifting and swaying: The upper character has the fanqie 芳梵 [fàn]. The Zishu says: "泛 means to float." The sūtra writes 汎, which is a vulgar character. 汎 means 'universal', which is not the sūtra's meaning. The lower character has the fanqie 陽亮 [yàng]. It is also written as 瀁, each having distinct meanings; the proper standard form should be 颺. Considering the compound 汎漾, it conveys the sense of roaming afloat with ease; 漾 refers to ripples of water. Although the meanings seem similar, it diverges from the original intent of the sūtra, and it would be better emended to 颺).
