v1.c8.s6.11

The *Ni-lo-pi-t'u* of this passage has been rightly restored by Julien as Nilapiṭa, and the Chinese annotator tells us the word means "Dark-blue store". We find the word Nilapiṭa in our Sanskrit dictionaries, but the P. W. gives only one illustration of its use, and that is the passage before us.
