神藥樹 [shen yao shu]—Divine Medicine Tree—[Plant] (植物 [zhi wu]) There is a Divine Medicine Tree named Modazhizhu'an. There was a great divine snake (大神蛇 [da shen she]), one hundred twenty zhang long. The snake was slithering, searching for food. There was a black-headed worm (黑頭蟲 [hei tou chong]), five zhang long, that met the snake on the road. The snake had just raised its head, intending to bite off the large worm in front. Upon smelling the medicinal fragrance (藥香 [yao xiang]), it bent its head, wanting to flee. The snake's body coiled around the medicine tree, and its body immediately broke into two sections. The front half with the head managed to escape alive, while the tail rotted away with a foul smell. All poisons (諸毒 [zhu du]), upon smelling this snake's stench, all evil poisons (諸惡毒 [zhu e du]) were eliminated. See Shanshin Sutra, Vol. 3, Jinglü Yixiang.
神藥樹—【植物】有神藥樹，名摩陀祇主厭。有大神蛇，身長百二十丈。蛇行索食。有黑頭蟲，身長五丈，行道中與蛇相逢。蛇適舉頭，欲斷前之大蟲。聞藥香，屈頭欲走。蛇身羅於藥樹，身即中斷為兩段。頭半生得走，尾便臭爛。諸毒聞此蛇臭，諸惡毒皆消滅。見善信經下，經律異相三。
