穰草 (The *fanqie* for the upper character is [ȵ]- + [tɕɨɐŋ] (若章反). The *Guangya* states: 'Grain stalks are called 穰 [*ráng*].' The *Shuowen jiezi* states that it is categorized under the radical 禾 (grain) with 襄 phonetic. In the sūtra text it is written with the radical 艸 (grass) as 蘘, which is the character for wild ginger (蘘荷) and not the intended meaning of the sūtra).
