36.27

[示*厭]縛(上益琰反考聲[示*厭]禳也廣雅壓鎮也集訓[彳*厭]著也案[彳*厭]亦禱也祈禱精魅鬼神與人為祟或造符書喚人名字或作彼人形像埋藏於神祠或竈下或十字路上名為[示*厭]禱)。

厭縛: The first character has the fanqie yi + yan (yàn). The *Kaosheng* says: 'Yan means to avert evil by ritual.' The *Guangya* says: 'To suppress and pin down.' The *Jixun* says: 'To affix to.' I note: yan also means sorcerous prayers—praying to demonic spirits and deities to bring calamity upon a person, or making talismans invoking the person's name, or fashioning a likeness of that person to bury in a shrine, beneath a hearth, or at a crossroads; this is called sorcerous supplication (yandao).
