篾戾車 [mleccha] (The first character has the fanqie [眠+鼈] miè. Ancient translations sometimes write mìlièchē, which are all corruptions. The correct Sanskrit sound is bìlìyīncuō [mleccha]. Here it is translated as 'the impure breed'; those who delight in committing evil deeds, a base caste, defiled people of border regions who do not believe in the true Dharma).
