2.45

【乾闥婆】或犍陀羅。《淨名疏》:「此云香陰,此亦陵空之神。不噉酒肉,唯香資陰,是天主幢倒樂神,在須彌南金剛窟住。」什曰:「天樂神也。處地十寶山中。天欲作樂時,此神身有異相出,然後上天。」新云尋香行。應法師云嗅香。

[Gandharva] Or Gandhara. The *Jingming shu* states: 'Translated here as fragrance-skandha; this is also a sky-soaring spirit. They do not eat wine and meat, but rely solely on fragrance to nourish their aggregates; they are the music spirits of the banner-inverting music of the Lord of Heaven, dwelling in the vajra caves south of Sumeru.' Kumārajīva said: 'They are heavenly music spirits. They dwell in the earth's mountains of ten jewels. When the gods wish to make music, extraordinary signs appear on this spirit's body, after which it ascends to heaven.' The new [translation] says: "those who walk seeking fragrance". Dharma Master Huanying says: "scent-smellers".'
