3.202

蔑隷車(上眠鱉反次音麗或云蔑戾車梵語也皆訛略不正云畢㗚(二合)蹉此翻為下賤種類邊鄙不識禮義人也)。

Mleccha (the upper character is pronounced 眠 + 鱉 fanqie; the next is pronounced 麗. Alternatively written as '蔑戾車'. This is Sanskrit; both forms are corrupt abbreviations and incorrect, properly pronounced 'bi-li-cha' [bṛtsa / mleccha]. This is translated as an inferior class of people, uncivilized border inhabitants who do not know propriety or righteousness.)
