56.15

Shuita (水獺; the two fanqie pronunciations are *ta-he* and *ta-xia* [tǎ]. Shaped like a small dog, it lives in the water and eats fish. In the sūtra text it is written as 狚, *du-da* fanqie [dàn]; the geda (獦狚) is a beast resembling a wolf with a red head; dan is not the meaning here. Ge is pronounced *gu-he* fanqie [gé]).
