bila : [nt.] a den; a hole; a portion.
Bila1 (nt.) [Vedic bila, perhaps fr. bhid to break, cp. K.Z. 12, 123. Thus already expld by Dhtp 489: bila bhedane] a hole, den, cave A ii.33=S iii.85; Th 1, 189; Nd1 362; J i.480; ii.53; vi.574 (=guhā C.); Miln 151; Sdhp 23. -- kaṇṇa˚ orifice of the ear Vism 195; vammīka˚ ant's nest J iv.30; sota˚=kaṇṇa˚ DhsA 310.
-- āsaya (adj.) living in holes, a cave -- dweller, one of the four classes of animals (bil˚, dak˚, van˚, rukkh˚) S iii.85=A ii.33; Nd1 362; Bu ii.97; J i.18.
Bila2 (nt.) [identical with bila1] a part, bit J vi.153 (˚sataŋ 100 pieces); abl. bilaso (adv.) bit by bit M i.58=iii.91 (v. l. vilaso). At J v.90 in cpd. migābilaŋ(maŋsaŋ) it is doubtful whether we should read mig'ābilaŋ (thus, as we have done, taking ābila=āvila), or migā -- bilaŋ with a lengthened metri causâ, as the C. seems to take it (migehi khādita -- maŋsato atirittaŋ koṭṭhāsaŋ).
-- 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 Jvi.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.
Bila3 [cp. Sk. viḍa] a kind of salt Vin i.202; M ii.178, 181.
bila: n. 一小片{a part, [bit一小片.一小塊]; abl. [bilaso一片片地] (adv.) [bit by bit一點一點地]}
