Piṇḍada (邠坻: fu plus pin fanqie [bīn]; the second character in ancient script is [圪-乙+小], the same, zhi plus ji fanqie [chí]. This is a corrupt transcription; the correct transcription is Bin-tu-tuo-xie-ye [Piṇḍada], meaning here 'ball-giver' [alms-giver]. In older translations rendered as 'Giver to the Solitary' [Anāthapiṇḍada], which is an alternate name for Sudatta; 'Sudatta' here translates as 'good giver').
