蚖蛇(上五官愚轅二反下社遮反抱朴子曰虵類甚多唯蚖虵中人最急以刀割其所螫處肉棄於地肉自沸似火炙須臾焦盡人方得活也二字並從虫元它聲)。

Viper and snake (蚖蛇: the upper character has the two fanqie readings 五官 and 愚轅; the lower character has the fanqie 社遮. The Baopuzi says: "There are very many kinds of snakes, but only the bite of the yuán-shé harms a person most urgently. If one cuts out the flesh where it bit with a knife and casts it to the ground, the flesh boils of itself like being roasted on fire and in a moment is completely charred to ash; only then does the person survive." Both characters are formed with 'insect' (虫) and phonetic yuán (元) and tuó (它)).
