Formerly written as Pozhi \[婆雉\], both being corrupt and abbreviated Sanskrit terms, not phonetically accurate. This is the name of an asura king. The correct Sanskrit sound is Vepacitti (嚩抳; 嚩 is pronounced 無 \[wu\] + 割 \[ge\] \[wá\], 抳 is pronounced 尼 \[ni\] + 里 \[li\] \[nǐ\]). As there is no standard Chinese translation for this, the Sanskrit is preserved. Older translations render it as 'Bound' (縛); he always stood before the asura hosts, and because of suffering defeat in battle, he was bound by Śakra Devānām Indra, and after swearing an oath gained release; hence he was given this name). > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 14.171](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2128.14.171) - [Next: 14.173](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2128.14.173) - [Up: 14](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2128.14) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2128~en-mt.14.172) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2128.14.172](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2128.14.172) · Pramāṇa
