41.62

Wild jackals (野干: also called shè-gān; shè is pronounced yè. Sima Biao and Guo Pu both say: "The yegan can climb trees." The Guangzhi says: "It nests on precipitous cliffs and high trees; hence we know it is not a wild fox." In Huainan it is called the máhú (麻狐). The Dhyāna Sūtra also says: "One saw a wild fox, and also saw a yegan"; thus we know the two are distinct, and the wild fox is larger than the yegan).
