"Now there are two demons-within-the-state,

one of whom is named Deep Sands (Shen-sha),

the other Floating Hill (Fu-ch>iu).

These demons march boldly through the world, searching out people's weak points."

p. 111

"Deep Sands, in particular, was to enjoy a long and varied career ..., founded on his helpfulness in keeping other, less refined demons away."

p. 313, n. 3:47

"He also appears in Po Yu:-ch>an's analysis of the Tantric ["yoga"] practice of his time.

... the cult of Deep Sands ... appears fairly prominently in Japanese Tantric ritual and iconographic manuscripts from the eleventh century on ... . ... .

... in an early version of the tale of the seventh-century monk Hsu:an-chuang's journey to India ... Deep Sands is one of the demons encountered and converted along the way. See also Kakuzen sho [T. Zuzo, vol. 5:560c-562b, plates 389-90], where it is said that :

(a) he appeared to Hsu:an-chuang in the desert;

(b) he appeared to Tao-hsu:an on Chung-nan shan;

(c) he is a transformation of Vais`ravana, guardian of the northern direction;

(d) he is identified with T>ai-shan Fu-chu:n ... . ...

In the sixteenth century, the demon comes into his full powers as "Sandy," one of Hsu:an-chuang's droll companions in the Journey to the West (Hsi-yu chi) ... (see Dudbridge 1970:18-21). ... .

... on Deep Sand's acolyte, the god Floating Hill (Fu-ch>iu), ... see Asaba-sho, T. Zuzo, vol. 9:522c-524a, plate 104. According to the Ta-chi ching, ... the god was earlier connected with Shu province's Fu-ch>iu ssu [Floating Hill Temple], and ...

he appeared to a monk in his yaks.a form, bestowing upon him dharan.is and mantras."

{There are many Amerindian accounts of deities appearing in animal-guise to a shaman in a dream in order to bestow sacred songs.}

Daimones in the Meditation-Hall

119-22

p. 120

in the time of the Buddha (S`akya-muni) himself :-

"a demon[ess] appeared with a face like a Chinese lute (p>i-p>a), four eyes, two mouths, its {her} entire head shooting forth flames, beating itself under the armpits, and chanting {her own name} "Bhuti, Bhuti." It {she} was like a fireball ... {cf. Joan-the-Wad, the wife of Will-of-the-Wisp}, now arising, now disappearing".

p. 121

"This Bhuti is an evil yaks.i; she is also called the Demon[ess] of Dreams. When you see her in a dream and you have a loss of vital essence {semen virilis} ..."

{I.e., she is an empousa = succuba.}

"in the wilds, it {she} is called the Demon[ess] of the Wilds.

When it {she} dwells between the bed and the coverlet, its {her} name is the Demon[ess] Crawls on Its {her} Belly."

["The demons that attack monks, nuns, laymen and laywomen when they are practicing their meditation at a tranquil place" :-]

"black or red rats that scratch at the meditator's heart or tickle his feet, hands, or ears;

may produce the cries of birds, the moaning ..., or subtle whisperings; ...

fox-phantoms, some of them taking the form of brides, richly appareled, who will stroke and caress the meditator's body and speak of things

contrary to the Law.

Other will appear as dogs, howling incessantly, ...

hawks and various kinds of birds, making all manner of noises, from whispers to great shouts. ...

small children, in ranks of hundreds and thousands -- or ... by tens or fives or ones, twos, or threes -- making various noises. ...

mosquitoes, flies, gnats, lice, or serpents that may enter his ears, humming like a queen bee, or go into his eyes ..."

["With visitors such as these, the meditator may go mad, flee from his hermitage, and run wildly about, quite out of control."]

the 63 daimones in the era of buddha Kanaka-muni :-

[2 names which "resemble ... Deep Sands and Floating Hill"]

goblins & phantoms

"pus-eaters and spittle-eaters,

asses' ears {cf. ass-eared gS`en-rab-mi-po = ass-eared Midas} and

tiger-heads and

kittens' meows,

white rats and

fox-phantoms".
