Ṣaṇḍha-paṇḍaka (扇搋半擇迦: fanqie: ch[ì] + [zhu]ī. In older sūtras and treatises it is called般吒 or 般茶迦, which are all differences in regional accents. Paṇḍaka is translated here as eunuch, which is a general name. There are five types of them; here, the third, the ṣaṇḍha-paṇḍaka, refers to one whose male organ was fundamentally deficient from birth and who cannot sire children).
