12.168

波卑掾 (*Pāpīyān*): 掾 is *yuàn* (悅絹反 [juɛnᴴ]). A Sanskrit name for the heavenly Māra. Tradition mistakenly calls him *Bōxún* (波旬). In Sanskrit originally there is no *Pāxún*; old translations wrote 陂䀏, pronounced *xiàn* (音縣), an abbreviation. Later people mistakenly copied 䀏 as the character 旬.
