虫𦚭(七余反通俗文云宍中虫三蒼蠅乳宍中也經文作蛆子余反莊子云螂蛆甘螮謂其公也又作疽久㿈也此後二並非經義也云云也)。

Maggots (chóngyú 虫𦚭) (qī + yú fanqie. The Tongsuwen says: 'worms within flesh'. The Sancang says: 'flies breeding in meat'. Sūtra texts write 蛆, zǐ + yú fanqie. Zhuangzi says: 'Centipedes find [the larvae of] cicadas sweet', referring to these. It is also written 疽, meaning a chronic ulcer; neither of these latter two matches the sūtra's meaning).
