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).
