鶖鷺 (The first character has the fanqie 七修; the second has the fanqie 盧妬. Upon examination, the qiulu is the Chinese grosbeak (fanshe). Śāriputra's mother's eyes resembled this bird, so he was named after it; hence he is called Qiuluzi [son of the heron/Śāri]. The Shuowen jiezi states that both are derived from the 'bird' radical (鳥), with 秋 and 路 respectively as phonetics.)
