波卑掾（悅絹反梵語天魔名相傳誤云波旬梵語元無波旬古譯書陂䀏音縣略也後人誤書䀏為旬字）。

波卑掾 (*Pāpīyān*): 掾 is *yuàn* (悅絹反 [juɛnᴴ]). A Sanskrit name for the heavenly Māra. Tradition mistakenly calls him *Bōxún* (波旬). In Sanskrit originally there is no *Pāxún*; old translations wrote 陂䀏, pronounced *xiàn* (音縣), an abbreviation. Later people mistakenly copied 䀏 as the character 旬.
