75.29

Dark facial spots [䵴䵟] (the first character is pronounced *ceng* + *gen* [cèng]; the second is pronounced *yu* + *lan* [yǎn]. It is also written as 䵟䵴, or with "skin" [皮] as 皯, or with 曾 as [曾*干]. The *Wenzi jilüe* states: 'A disease of dark facial spots.' In old translations of the sūtra it is written as 咤幹, which makes no sense at all; either the sūtra copyists made a mistake, or the translator used obscure characters. Here it is amended for now to 䵟䵴; let the wise examine it further).
