65.31

妖冶 (seductive and glamorous: [the upper character is pronounced] 於 + 驕 [yāo]; the lower character is 以 + 者 [yě]. The Book of Changes says: "A glamorous appearance invites licentiousness." Liu Huan says: "冶 means alluring and glamorous." The sutra text has 蠱, which denotes venomous insects that harm others, and is not the meaning of the sutra).
