麝香(時夜反郭注山海經云麝香獸也似麞而處深山險徑中雄者口有牙臍中有香雌者無牙亦無香經文作𥔡非也)。

麝香 (The fanqie is sh- + y- [shè]. Guo's commentary on the Shanhaijing states: 'The musk deer is a beast resembling a roe deer, dwelling in deep mountains and dangerous passes. The male has tusks in its mouth and musk in its navel; the female has neither tusks nor musk.' In the sūtra text it is written as 𥔡, which is incorrect).
