捉攬馬一毛 (The fanqie is l- + g- [lǎn]. In the great ocean there is a realm of rākṣasas; those rākṣasas constantly eat living people. There was a bodhisattva of great compassion who transformed into a celestial horse [Balāha] and flew to that land to rescue those people about to be eaten. The complete account is found in the Abhiniṣkramaṇa-sūtra and the Saddharmasmṛtyupasthāna-sūtra, both of which share this account; it is only briefly stated here).
