Bili (薜茘, fanqie 蒲計 [p/ji], the second character 力計 [l/ji]). Also called beidili, beidiliye, beiliduo, or written biliduo; all are corrupt. Correctly spoken it is [璊-王+弓]lituo (preta). Translated here it means 'ancestral spirit'. Old translations say 'hungry ghost' (preta); they are the most inferior among hungry ghosts. [璊-王+弓] has the fanqie 補蔑 [b/mie]. In the Peacock King Sutra it is written biliduo, which in the Liang language is 'hungry ghost', which is this. Bi (俾) has the fanqie 卑寐 [b/mei].
