71.8

指鬘(莫班反即央掘魔羅也央掘此云指鬘或云結斷人指結相箸為鬘安頭上故有此名也)。

指鬘 (*maen*, [fanqie for 鬘:] 莫班反; that is, Aṅgulimāla. *Aṅguli* is here translated as 'finger'; *māla* is 'garland'. It is also said that he severed people's fingers and tied them together to form a garland placed on his head, hence he received this name).
