霹靂(上匹覓反下靈的反文字典說云霹靂大雷擊物也從雨辟歷皆聲也經從石作礔礰俗字也)。

Thunderbolt [霹靂] (the first character is pronounced *pi* + *mi* [pì]; the second is pronounced *ling* + *di* [lì]. The *Wenzi dianshuo* states: 'Pili is a great thunderbolt striking objects; both take "rain" [雨] as semantic classifier and have *pi* [辟] and *li* [歷] as phonetic components.' In the sūtra it is written with "stone" [石] as 礔礰, which are popular characters).
