室獸摩羅(形如象也舊經律中或作失收摩羅或作失守摩羅梵音轉耳譯云殺子魚也善見律云鰐魚也長二丈餘有四足似鼉齒至利有禽鹿人水齧𭦫即斷也廣州出土地有之)。

Śiśumāra (室獸摩羅: shaped like an elephant. In older scriptures and vinayas it is written either 失收摩羅 or 失守摩羅, which are merely shifts in the Sanskrit sound. Translated, it means 'child-killing fish'. The Samantapāsādikā states: 'An alligator, over twenty feet long, with four legs, resembling a soft-shelled crocodile, with extremely sharp teeth; when animals, deer, or people enter the water, biting them cuts them off immediately.' It is found in the land of Guangzhou).
