蝮蠍（蝮音芳福反三蒼云蝮蛇也色如綬帶有牙最毒江已北名虺音虛鬼反蠍螫也經誤為蝎字此音胡葛反是木中蟲非此義）。

蝮蠍 ("vipers and scorpions": 蝮 is the fanqie fang + fu. The Sancang says: "It is the viper snake; its coloration is like a sash ribbon, it possesses fangs, and is the most venomous. North of the Yangtze it is called a huǐ [虺], sounded xū + guǐ fanqie." 蠍 means "to sting". In the sūtra it is erroneously written as the character 蝎, whose sound is hú + gè fanqie, which is a wood-boring grub and not this meaning).
