72.211

華[肆-聿+(彰-章+(曼-又+方))] [flower garland] (Also written 花, identical. Fanqie: 呼瓜 [hū + guā, *huā*]. The second character represents Sanskrit *mālā*, translated here as *màn* [鬘, garland]. Fanqie: 蠻 [mán]. According to custom in the Western Regions, garland-makers mostly take sumana flowers, stringing them in rows to make a strand; regardless of male or female, noble or base, all adorn themselves with this, either on the head or on the body as an ornament. The 'heavenly garlands,' 'jeweled garlands,' and 'flower garlands' in the sūtras, as well as the 'garland-makers,' all refer to this. In the treatise it is also written 𩬞, which is not the orthodox form).
