75.57

邪鬼[魅-未+矢] ("evil demon [魅-未+矢]": fanqie 恥利 [chì]. Guo Pu's commentary on the Shanhaijing says: 'Divine prodigies are [魅-未+矢] and 魅.' Vulgar pronunciation calls the 魅 ghost with the fanqie 丑栗 [chì], which is an erroneous phonetic shift. The Shuowen jiezi says: 'A fierce demon.' The sūtra text also writes it as 𩲶 or [魅-未+矣], both of which are commonly used).
