9.22

阿須倫(又作阿須羅或作阿脩羅皆訛也正言阿素洛素洛云酒此譯云阿者無也亦云非亦云天名無酒神亦名非天經中亦名無善神)。

Axulun (阿須倫). Also written as Axuluo (asura) or Axiuluo; these are all corrupt. Correctly spoken it is Asuluo (asura). Sula means 'liquor'; as translated here, a- means 'without', also 'not', and also 'deva', hence 'spirits without liquor', or also 'non-devas'. In the scriptures they are also called 'spirits without goodness'.
