7.62

麤獷 [Coarse and fierce]: The upper [character] has the fanqie 倉蘇 (cāng + sū = cū); this is the orthodox form, popularly written as 鹿. Zheng's commentary to the Liji says, “麤 means sparse.” The Guangya says, “Bad.” The Shuowen says, “It derives from three 鹿 [deer].” The lower [character] has the fanqie 虢猛 (guó + měng = guǎng); the Jixun says, “Fierce and evil like a dog, which cannot be approached; thus it derives from 犬 [dog].” The sūtra text occasionally writes 礦, which is erroneous.
