43.172

鬱烝 (Pronounced with the fanqie 於物 [yù]. The Erya states: '鬱 means vapor.' Li Xun says: '鬱 means dense and abundant vapor.' The second character has two fanqie pronunciations: 之媵 [zhèng] and 之升 [zhēng]. The Shuowen jiezi states: '烝 means fiery vapor rising upward.' When 'clouds steam on the southern mountains, the base stone of pillars becomes moist,' this refers to heat and steam rising up. The sūtra text writes it as 蒸 with the fanqie 之升 [zhēng]. The Erya states: '蒸 means numerous; it means fine.' 蒸 does not have the intended sense here. 媵 is pronounced with the fanqie 以證 [yìng]. 礎 is pronounced 楚 [chǔ]; it means the stone beneath a pillar).
