75.55

或魋 ("or hernia": fanqie 徒雷 [tuí]. The translators used this mistakenly: written with the ghost radical and 隹, it is the name of a beast and completely contrary to the sūtra's meaning. Correctly it should be written with the head radical 頁 as 䫋. 䫋 is an ailment of the lower abdomen, also called prolapse disease or downward-sinking affliction).
