Regarding "harassing and bewitching": the *Zuanwen* states, "*Rao* means teasing." The character *gu* should properly be written as the *gu* of sorcery (*yangu*). The *Zilin* states: "*Gu* is pronounced *gu* [in falling tone] or *gu* [in rising tone]." The *Erya* states: "*Gu* means suspecting." Guo Pu says: "Deluding people." The *Mātaṅga Sūtra* writes it as harassing and bewitching, meaning this demon caused disturbance and cast sorcery. Master [Daosheng] says: "*Gu* means not empty."
