The lower character has the fanqie 徒何; the Shanhaijing says that the waters of the Changjiang abound in alligators; Guo Pu’s commentary says: “It resembles a lizard; the large ones are a zhang in length, with scales and patterns; its skin can be used to make drums”; the Shijing says: “The alligator-skin drums boom, boom”; the character is formed from 黽, pronounced 猛, with the phonetic \[(口\*口)/田/一\], pronounced 那. The scripture text writes both characters with the turtle classifier 龜, which is a great error; character dictionaries do not contain these forms for 黿 and 鼉). > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 4.126](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2129.4.126) - [Next: 4.128](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2129.4.128) - [Up: 4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2129.4) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2129~en-mt.4.127) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2129.4.127](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2129.4.127) · Pramāṇa
