獯狐（准律文合作𪇑鶘二字上音勳下音胡集訓云𪇑鶘鵂[(堊-王+田)*鳥]怪鳥也形如土梟晝伏夜出好食虵鼠也今作獯即獯鬻匈奴別名也作狐即鬼所乘獸也律次下文云或作野狐頭是）。

獯狐 (According to the vinaya text, this should properly be written as the two characters 𪇑鶘. The upper character is pronounced 勳; the lower is pronounced 胡. The Jixun says: 'The 𪇑鶘 is the screech owl, a strange bird shaped like a barn owl; it conceals itself by day and flies out by night, fond of eating snakes and rats.' Now written as 獯, this refers to the Xunyu, another name for the Xiongnu. Written as 狐, it refers to the beast ridden by ghosts. A later passage of the vinaya text says: 'or having the head of a wild fox,' which is this).
