猗著（於譏反古人僻見錯用字也準據前後經文合是依字經云身心無依又云無所依著又云不依今世又云不依言辭等今並書猗字錯之甚也說文云猗者犗犬也殊非此義多是筆授之流寡學文典避私諱借書此字身宜改從依正也）。

Clinging to and attached (猗著: [fanqie for 猗] 於譏反. An erroneous character used due to ancient translators' eccentric views. According to the context before and after in the scripture, it should be the character 依 [rely on]. The scripture says: 'Body and mind have nothing to rely on [無依],' and also says 'unattached [無所依著],' and 'not relying on the present world [不依今世],' and 'not relying on words and speech [不依言辭],' etc.; now they all write the character 猗, which is an extreme error. The Shuowen says: '猗 means a castrated dog,' which is completely irrelevant to this meaning. Most likely, the scribes who recorded the translation were deficient in classical learning, and to avoid a private taboo name they borrowed this character; it should properly be emended back to 依).
