3.414

或云。茶毘。或耶維闍毘正。梵云闍鼻多。此云焚燒○十誦律云。比丘疑火葬殺身中八萬戶虫。佛言。人死虫亦死。

Also written chábí, or yéwéi. Zhébí is the correct form. In Sanskrit, it is jhāpita, which translates here as burning. / The Sarvāstivāda Vinaya states: A monk doubted whether fire burial would kill the eighty thousand families of worms within the body. The Buddha said: "When a person dies, the worms also die."
