豺狼(上牀皆反尒雅云豺㺃足也說文云狼屬也從豸才聲經文從犬作犲非也案豺有二類大曰豺郎小曰豺奴小者先行共獵麞鹿殺已守之不敢即食以待豺郎後至先食飽已豺奴啖其殘肉故月令云後五日豺祭獸即其是也)。

Jackal and wolf (豺狼: the upper character has the fanqie 牀皆. The Erya says: "The chái has the feet of a dog." The Shuowen says: "A relative of the wolf. Formed with [the semantic element] zhì (豸) and [the phonetic element] cái (才)." In the sūtra text it is written with 'dog' (犬) as 犲, which is incorrect. Note: of the chái there are two kinds: the larger is called chái-láng, the smaller is called chái-nú. The smaller ones go ahead to hunt roe deer and ordinary deer together; having killed them, they guard them and dare not eat them immediately, awaiting the chái-láng to arrive later and eat their fill first, after which the chái-nú eat the leftover flesh. Thus the Yueling says: "Five days later, the jackals sacrifice beasts"; this refers to them).
