贊曰:下四頌惡人果。有四:一頌惡嚴,一頌惡服,半頌惡狀,一頌半惡行。此初二也。瘖亦瘂,不能言也。有作「喑」,《字林》「喑喑也」。「唶」音子夜反。「瘂」有作「啞」,《字林》「乙白反,笑聲也」。《切韻》「啞,口不能言」。「疽」音七餘反,亦癰也。

Commentary: The four verses below concern the fruition of being an evil human. There are four parts: one verse on evil adornments, one verse on evil clothing, half a verse on evil appearance, and one and a half verses on evil conduct. These are the first two. Yin is also ya, meaning unable to speak. Some texts write yin [with mouth radical]; the Zilin says: 'Yin means mute.' Jie is pronounced zi-ye. Ya is also written ya [with mouth radical]; the Zilin says: 'Pronounced yi-bai, the sound of laughter.' The Qieyun says: 'Ya means the mouth is unable to speak.' Ju is pronounced qi-yu, also meaning an ulcer (carbuncle).
