污之 ('defiling it'; the first character is pronounced with the fanqie 烏 + 故. Gu Yewang says: "To stain or soil." The Han text of the Shijing says: "Foul and filthy." Character dictionaries say: "To smear with mud." The Shuowen says it is formed from [the radical] 水 with 亐 as the phonetic component. The sūtra writes it with 夸 as 洿, pronounced 於 + 徒, which contradicts the meaning in the sūtra).
