65.54

蛇螫 (snake sting: the upper character is pronounced 虵, which is the correct form; the sutra writes it with 也 as 虵, which is a vulgar variant. The lower character is pronounced 聲 + 隻 [shì]. The Shuowen says: "The sting or bite of a poisonous insect; insects inflicting venom." Analyzed from 'insect' (䖝) and 赦 as phonetic. The sutra writes it with 赤 as 𧋒, which does not form a proper character and is incorrect).
