能攫噬（攫拘縛反。噬常制反。蒼頡篇曰攫搏也。說文曰攫爪持也。廣雅曰噬囓也。言由造集損害真實出離善根故此猶如師子搏囓也。攫字經本有從立犬邊作𭸴者甚謬也。花嚴闍梨共三藏覆勘此梵本謂之似多此云師子。然依業用聲呼故翻為攫噬。其於犬邊矍者乃是猨𭸴之屬與梵本不相當也。噬字要冝從竹經本有從二十者音武係反。又有口邊著莁者無不是字也以音詞孕反也）。

Able to seize and devour (*neng jueshi*; *jue* has the *fanqie* onset *ju* and rhyme *fu*; *shi* has the *fanqie* onset *chang* and rhyme *zhi*; the *Cang Jie Pian* states: "*Jue* means to strike." The *Shuowen* states: "*Jue* means to seize with claws." The *Guangya* states: "*Shi* means to bite." It means that by generating and accumulating what damages the roots of goodness that lead to genuine liberation, this is like a lion striking and devouring. Some sūtra editions write *jue* with the dog radical as 𭸴, which is a great error. The Avataṃsaka ācārya and the Tripiṭaka master examined this Sanskrit text together and found that it reads *siṃha*, which here means lion. However, following its action and verbal form, it was translated as 'seizing and devouring'. Writing it with the dog radical beside *jue* refers to apes and monkeys, which does not match the Sanskrit text. The character *shi* must follow the bamboo radical; some editions write it with *ershi* [twenty], pronounced with the *fanqie* onset *wu* and rhyme *xi*; others place *chu* [莁] beside the mouth radical, none of which are the correct character, which is pronounced with the *fanqie* onset *ci* and rhyme *ying*).
