26.85

Maggots (chóngyú 虫𦚭) (qī + yú fanqie. The Tongsuwen says: 'worms within flesh'. The Sancang says: 'flies breeding in meat'. Sūtra texts write 蛆, zǐ + yú fanqie. Zhuangzi says: 'Centipedes find [the larvae of] cicadas sweet', referring to these. It is also written 疽, meaning a chronic ulcer; neither of these latter two matches the sūtra's meaning).
