6.4
Buddha-mātṛkā-mahāmāyūrīvidyārājñī-sūtra, Upper Fascicle
6.5
[示*厭]禱 (The upper character has the fanqie 於琰 [y- + -(y)am = yǎn]; the Qieyun says: 'To exorcise or avert evil.' It is formed with the classifier 示 [altar/spirit] and phonetic 厭. In the sūtra text it is written as 厭, pronounced 於豔 [yàn], meaning to abandon or detest, not the character for exorcism. The lower character has the fanqie 都㬶 [d- + -(k)aw = dǎo]; the Qieyun says: 'To pray for blessing.' The Lunyu says: 'Praying to the celestial and terrestrial deities above and below').
6.6
伺斷 (The upper character has the fanqie 相吏 [x- + -(l)i = sì]; the Qieyun says: 'To watch for; to spy.' The Yupian says: 'To inspect.' The Shiming says: '伺 means 思 [sī, to deliberate].' The lower character has the fanqie 從管 [c- + -(k)wan = duàn]; the Yunying says: 'To cut off.' The Shuowen says: 'To sever; formed with the classifier 斤 [axe] and 𢇍, an ancient script form of the character 絕 [to cut off].' In the sūtra text it is written as 斷 or as 断, both of which are corrupt).
6.7
螫彼 (The upper character has the fanqie 商隻 [sh- + -(y)ak = shì]; the Shuowen says: 'An insect discharging poison.' It is also written as 蠚. In the sūtra text it is written as 螫, pronounced 呼各 [hè], which is also acceptable).
6.8
拇指 (The upper character has the fanqie 莫補 [m- + -(b)u = mǔ]; the Gujin zhengzi says: 'The 拇 is the big toe of the foot; it is formed with the classifier 手 [hand] and phonetic 母').
6.9
蛇蠍 (The upper character has the fanqie 社遮 [sh- + -(ch)a = shé]. The lower character has the fanqie 軒謁 [x- + -(ʔ)at = xiē]. The Fangyan says: 'From the Pass westward, between Qin and Jin, it is called 𱿴𧔣 or called 蠍.' 蠍 is the term used throughout all four quarters. The Shiming says: '蠍 means 歇 [xiē, to rest], meaning that it rests its tail.' The character is formed with the classifier 虫 and phonetic 歇. In the sūtra text it is written as 蝎, which the Erya pronounces 曷 [hé], meaning a grub).
6.10
毘鉢尸 (Or written as 毗婆尸 or 微鉢尸 [Vipaśyin], reflecting differences in the light or heavy pronunciation of the Sanskrit. Here it is translated as 'Surpassing Contemplation Tathāgata,' or 'Pure Contemplation,' or 'Surpassing Vision,' and also called 'Various Contemplations'; a Buddha of the past Alaṃkārakalpa).
6.11
尸棄 (An abbreviated and corrupt Sanskrit transliteration; correctly it should be 式棄那 [Śikhin]. Here it is translated as 'Topknot Holder' or 'Possessing a Topknot,' that is, the Topknot Holder Tathāgata).
6.12
毘舍浮 (Or written as 毗溼婆部 [Viśvabhū], both being archaic Sanskrit transliterations. Here it is translated as 'All-Pervading Sovereign,' meaning sovereign over all things; or translated as 'Possessing All').
6.13
拘留孫 (Or written as 拘留秦; correctly it should be 迦羅鳩忖駄 [Krakucchanda]. Here it is translated as 'That Which Should Be Severed Is Already Severed'; he is the first of the thousand Buddhas of the Auspicious Kalpa).
6.14
羯諾迦牟尼 (Or written as 拘那含牟尼 or 迦那迦牟尼 [Kanakamuni]. Here it is translated as 'Golden Sage' or 'Golden Mountain Tathāgata').
6.15
迦攝波 (Also written with the character 葉 [Kāśyapa]. This is translated as 'Light Drinker,' the surname of a clan).
6.16
釋迦牟尼 (Śākya is the surname [meaning] 'Capable'; Muni means 'Sage in Silence'; fully explained below).
6.17
喬荅摩 (Formerly rendered 瞿曇 [Gautama]. According to Master Ci'en, citing the Shijia pu: The Śākya sovereigns succeeded one another across generations. A rebellious usurper arose; fearing his realm would be seized, the usurper king slaughtered the Śākya seed, wiping out the clan so that none remained to carry on the lineage. At that time an immortal sage inspected the surviving clan members and saw one who was pregnant, who would surely give birth to a boy. He presented a plea beforehand hoping the child would succeed the throne, and the mother consented to his request. Later a boy was indeed born. When he grew to his youth, the Śākya star appeared again. The usurper king was terrified, and searched for his dwelling, learning that he lived in the mountains. Waiting until the sage was absent, he secretly ordered him captured and pierced upon a long pole, announcing it to the country's people to put an end to dissident intentions. When the sage returned and did not see the child, he pursued in haste and found him in this state, whereupon he exercised supernatural powers to save him. Knowing the boy's life could not be preserved, he made a light rain fall to briefly revive him. He manifested a woman and urged him to copulate with her: 'If you do not comply, the Capable clan will be cut off!' The son obeyed his father's instruction and they engaged in union. When his fluids were shed, they fell and soiled the mud and earth. The sage collected them, wrapped them in cow dung, and placed them in a sugarcane grove. Heated and baked by the sun's warm light, after the full ten months they turned into a boy. The sage raised him again, and later he became king. From this time the Śākyas once again inherited the royal throne. Therefore, 'Gautama' here means 'Sugarcane Seed' or 'Sun-Baked Seed'; if spoken of disparagingly, it means 'Cow-Dung Seed' or 'Mud-and-Earth Seed.' In Gautama, the final -ma is a masculine termination; or when written as 喬曇彌 [Gautamī], the final -mī is a feminine termination).
6.18
Pond and pool (陂池: the first character has the fanqie *b- / w-*, the Erya states: "That which is an embankment is called a bei (陂)"; the Shangshu says: "An embankment that dams a wetland is called a bei (陂)"; the second character has the fanqie *zh- / l-*, the Qieyun states: "Still water is called a pool (chi 池)"; a broad [pool] is called a marsh (zhao 沼); it is derived from water with chi 馳 abbreviated as the phonetic).
6.19
Pit and cave (坎窟: the first character has the fanqie *k- / g-*, the Qieyun states: "A steep, hazardous place; also a small wine-vessel shaped like a pot"; the second character has the fanqie *k- / g-*, the Yupian states: "A hollow or cave; derived from xue 穴 (cave) with qu 屈 as phonetic").

6.23
Spring and autumn sacrifices (祠祀: the first character has the fanqie *s- / c-*, the Erya states: "The spring sacrifice is called a ci (祠)"; Guo's commentary says: "Ci also speaks of drinking"; the Shiming states: "Ci means ci 詞 (words), referring to offering spoken prayers in supplication"; the second character has the fanqie *x- / l-*, the Qieyun states: "A sacrificial ritual"; the Erya says: "The Shang dynasty called it si (祀)"; Guo's commentary states: "It takes the meaning of the completion of one cycle of the four seasons"; both characters are derived from shi 示, pronounced like shi 視).
6.24
Saliva and nasal mucus (涎洟: the first character has the fanqie *x- / l-*, the Qieyun states: "Xian (涎) is oral fluid"; the second character has the fanqie *y- / zh-*, the Shuowen says: "Nasal fluid"; both characters are derived from water with yan 延 and yi 夷 as phonetics; it is also read with the fanqie *t- / j-*).
6.25
Scabies and leprosy (疥癩: the first character has the fanqie *g- / x-*, the Qieyun states: "Sores and scabies"; Gu Yewang says: "Jie (疥) is itching (sao 瘙), namely wind itch"; it is also written as 疥; the second character has the fanqie *l- / d-*, dictionaries say: "A malignant disease"; the Shuowen writes it as 㾢; in the sūtra text it is written as 癩, a popular form).
6.26
Haemorrhoids and fistulae (痔漏: the first character has the fanqie *zh- / l-*, the Qieyun states: "A draining fistula disease"; Gu Yewang says: "A disease of the posterior opening").
6.27

6.29
Yojana (踰繕那: the first character has the fanqie *y- / zh-*; shan 繕 is pronounced shan 善; this is Sanskrit; formerly rendered youxun 由旬, or youyan 由延, or yuzhena 踰闍那, which are all corrupt abbreviations. According to the Record of the Western Regions: "A yojana has been, since ancient times, the day's march of a sacred king's army. The old tradition held that one yojana is forty li. The common custom in India is thirty li. What is recorded in the sacred teachings is only sixteen li. When examining these differing accounts, each has its basis: some take the time of a sacred king's march, some take measurements in cubits, and some take ancient feet; ultimately it is one day's march for an army." Now one should properly follow the Record of the Western Regions, fixing it at thirty li. For Master Xuanzang personally investigated the distances and compiled this travel record in response to the inquiries of Emperor Taizong, so it can truly be relied upon. This is all explained according to the glosses of Master Huilin and Master Ci'en).

Correctly it is *yúzhànnà*, which is a single day's march of an ancient sage-king's army. Various sūtras and treatises differ in their accounts of its mileage: some say forty *li*, some say thirty *li*, and some say only sixteen *li*. This is perhaps because sage-kings marched fast or slow, or because the cubit used differed, or according to ancient standard feet; although there are divergent opinions, in the end it represents a single day's journey for a royal army. According to the *Xiyu ji*, thirty *li* is settled as definitive; since Dharma Master Xuanzang personally verified distances and composed this travelogue to answer the inquiries of Emperor Taizong, his words are surely not mistaken).

Derived from the eye radical 目 with 限 as phonetic. The second [character] is *mai*, fanqie 莫獲. The Qieyun says: 'Blood vessels.' The Shiming says: 'Vessel (脈) means curtain (幕), meaning enveloping the whole body.' The Shuowen jiezi says it is derived from the flesh radical 肉 with the phonetic 派 abbreviated. In the sūtra text it is written as 脉, which is a vulgar variant).

Maṇḍala (曼茶羅: the first [character] is fanqie 母官. It is Sanskrit; also rendered *mannaluo* (曼拏攞) or *mannaluo* (滿拏羅) or *manzhala* (曼吒羅), which are identical. Here it is translated by meaning as 'assembly of the noble beings'; that is the modern altar platform [壇]).

Holding the alms-bowl (拓鉢: the first [character] is *tuo*, fanqie 他各. The Qieyun says: 'To support an object with the hand.' The second [character] is *bo*, fanqie 北末.

The Biography of Fotudeng says: 'Fotudeng burned incense and incanted over the bowl, and in an instant blue lotuses grew.' The Western Regions Gazette says: 'The Buddha's alms-bowl is in the country of Gandhāra').
