三災（宰來反說文云天火曰災古文作巛亦作𣏹古字也三灾有二種大小各別皆在減劫小三灾者飢饉疫病刀兵大三灾者火風水灾竝在劫末亦名劫灾）。

三災 (Pronounced 宰 + 來 fanqie. The Shuowen says: 'Fire from heaven is called 災.' The ancient text writes it as 巛, and also as 𣏹, which are ancient characters. The three calamities are of two kinds, great and small, each different; both occur in the declining kalpas. The three minor calamities are famine, pestilence, and warfare. The three major calamities are fire, wind, and water calamities; both occur at the end of a kalpa, and are also called kalpa calamities).
