Bladder and stomach (脬[田/肉]: the upper character is pu + bao [fan]. The Kaosheng says: a vessel that contains urine; the urinary bladder. Master Wang's Maijing says: the bladder sac holds nine pints and three tenths; when the bladder is rotated, urination does not pass. The Shuowen jiezi says: the bladder, a water vessel; it takes the flesh signific and fu abbreviative phonetic. In the sūtra text it is written as 胞, which is incorrect. The lower character is wei + wei fan. The Baihu tong says: the stomach is the depository of grain. The Yunying says: the intestines and stomach. The Shuowen jiezi says: the granary of grain.
