Blazing fire / whirlwind of fire (飇火) (The first [character] has the fanqie bì + yáo [biāo]. The Erya states: 'A whirlwind (fúyáo) is called biāo.' Guo [Pu]'s commentary states: 'A violent wind ascending from below.' The Shuowen states: 'Whirling wind. It derives from wind (風) with the phonetic biāo (猋).' The character 猋 consists of three dogs (犬); its pronunciation is the same as above. In the sūtra text it is written with three fires (火) as 飈, which is incorrect. The Erya also writes it simply as the character 猋).
