1.102

梵云頡麗伐多,此云室星,北方星也,祀之得子因以為名,離波多訛也。有云假和合,即《智度論》說二鬼食人事也。

In Sanskrit it is Revata; here it is translated as 'Chamber Constellation'. It is a northern constellation. His parents sacrificed to it and obtained a son, whence it was used as his name. 'Libuoduo' is corrupted. Some say 'Illusory Harmonious Combination', referring to the story in the Dazhidulun of two ghosts eating a man's body.
