bila
Bila，2 （nt．） [identical with bila1] a part，bit J．VI，153 （°sataṁ 100 pieces）; Abl．bilaso （adv．） bit by bit M．I，58=III，91 （v．l．vilaso）．At J．V，90 in cpd．migābilaṁ （maṁsaṁ） it is doubtful whether we should read mig’ābilaṁ （thus，as we have done，taking ābila=āvila），or migā-bilaṁ with a lengthened metri causâ，as the C．seems to take it （migehi khādita-maṁsato atirittaṁ koṭṭhāsaṁ）． --kata cut into pieces，made into bits J．V，266 （read macchā bilakatā yathā for macchābhīlā katā y．）．The C．here （p．272） expls as koṭṭhāsa-kata; at J．VI，111 however the same phrase is interpreted as puñja-kata，i．e．thrown into a heap （like fish caught by a fisherman in nets）．Both passages are applied to fish and refer to tortures in Niraya．（Page 487）
