【伊蘭】《觀佛三昧海經》云：「譬如伊蘭，與旃檀生末利山中。牛頭旃檀，生伊蘭叢中，未及長大，在地下時，牙莖枝葉，如閻浮提竹笋。眾人不知，言此山中純是伊蘭，無有旃檀。而伊蘭臭，臭若肨屍，熏四十由旬。其華紅色，甚可愛樂，若有食者，發狂而死。牛頭旃檀，雖生此林，未成就故，不能發香。仲秋月滿，卒從地生，成旃檀樹。眾人皆聞牛頭旃檀上妙之香，永無伊蘭臭惡之氣。」

> \[Eraṇḍa\]: The \*Sūtra of the Ocean-like Samādhi of the Contemplation of the Buddha\* says: 'For example, eraṇḍa grows together with candana on Mount Malaya. Gośīrṣa-candana grows within clumps of eraṇḍa; before it grows large, while still underground, its sprouts, stems, branches, and leaves are like bamboo shoots in Jambudvīpa. People do not know this, and say that this mountain has exclusively eraṇḍa and no candana. Now eraṇḍa stinks, stinking like a bloated corpse, its stench wafting for forty yojanas. Its flowers are red, extremely delightful; if anyone eats them, they go mad and die. Although gośīrṣa-candana grows in this forest, because it has not yet matured, it cannot emit fragrance. When the moon is full in mid-autumn, it suddenly springs from the earth and becomes a candana tree. Everyone smells the supreme and exquisite fragrance of the gośīrṣa-candana, and the foul and evil stench of the eraṇḍa is gone forever.'
