阿吒嚩迦 [a zha mo jia]—Āṭavika, name of a demon-general.
[The following represents an unverified English translation. For all purposes consult the original Chinese text.]
阿吒嚩迦 [a zha mo jia]—Āṭavika — [Name of a deity] Āṭavika, name of a ghost-spirit (鬼神名 [gui shen ming]). Also written as Eṭābó (遏吒薄 [e zha bao]) or Eṭābójù (阿吒薄俱 [a zha bao ju]). Huilin's Dictionary of Pronunciation and Meaning, Vol. 12 (慧琳音義十二 [hui lin yin yi shi er]) states: "Āṭābójia (阿吒薄迦 [a zha bao jia]) is the name of the great general of wilderness ghost-spirits (旷野鬼神大将 [kuang ye gui shen da jiang]). Or named Eṭābó (遏吒薄 [e zha bao]); these are all phonetic variations. It is incorrect to commonly call him 'Marshal General (元帅大将 [yuan shuai da jiang])'; he is one of the sixteen yaksha generals (药叉将 [yao cha jiang])."
阿吒嚩迦—【神名】Āṭavika，鬼神名。又作遏吒薄。阿吒薄俱。慧琳音義十二曰：「阿吒薄迦，曠野鬼神大將名也。或名遏吒薄，皆聲轉也。俗名元帥大將非也，十六藥叉將之一將也。」
