[Bali] The correct name is Balika, translated here as "round and complete." Now mistakenly translated as "bound." It is also said to mean "bound in five places," or "unable to escape with five evil objects tied around the neck," having been bound by Śakra. The Jingyin Yi states: "Dwelling as the vanguard of the asuras, he was bound by Śakra; because he escaped through a vow, he was named after this."
