7.213
Uniting in delusion, slander and deceit complete each other, taking what is different as the same and turning others into oneself; originally not of thought, they are later completed through borrowing marks: wasps and the like are of this class. The 'pūlu' is the solitary wasp (guǒluǒ), which takes green caterpillars as its young, not being born of itself. Tracing the cause, it is perhaps violating one's parents to acknowledge adopted relations, abandoning the root to follow others, mistakenly succeeding to another lineage, or falsely inheriting another clan; the retribution of cause and effect induces birth in this class.
