Here also the 耻辫补尘腻苍补 is portrayed as contemptible:

Both verses are instances of the first 辫谤补迟墨辫补 since there is a disparagement of the 耻辫补尘腻苍补s, yet in this verse the uselessness of the 耻辫补尘腻苍补s is perceived.
Commentary:
The word 补艣耻诲诲丑补迟腻尘 (impurity, defect) herein refers to the mistake of copyists and to errata in printing (Monier-Williams). The creator added darkness to lotuses and to the moon like someone might cross out a mistake by scribbling over it.
