繽紛（上疋仁反玉篇繽繽往來貌或盛也又眾也下孚云反玉篇紛乱廣雅繽繽眾也紛紛乱也謂眾多乱下也經文從草作𦿜音賓乃𮒂賓字五月管名也作芬草芳盛也二字皆非也）。

繽紛: The upper [character is read with the] fanqie pi + ren. The Yupian states: 'Binbin (繽繽) is the appearance of coming and going; or abundant; also numerous.' The lower [character is read with the] fanqie fu + yun. The Yupian states: 'Fen (紛) means disorderly.' The Guangya states: 'Binbin means numerous; fenfen means disorderly;' that is to say, falling down in great numbers and in disorder. In the text of the sūtra it is written with the grass radical as 𦿜, pronounced bin, which is the character 𮒂賓, the name of a musical pipe for the fifth month; or written as fen (芬), meaning luxuriant and fragrant herbs; both characters are erroneous.
