Englishbiliśa (so once in Skt. for regular baḍiśa, Suparṇ., pw 〔4.226〕
and note Pkt. biḍisa, Sheth
Pali only baḷisa, bal°), fishhook
some form or cpd. of this word is to be read in Mv 〔iii.259.2〕, for mss. bilaśa (v.l. billaśa)-tānikāyetsuḥ, and 〔260.16〕 (vs), same reading, except that both mss. read billa° here
evidently a verb is concealed in the end
Senart reads pāṭensuḥ, and before it bilaśatāni, which is impossible. It is possible that bilaśa- (with one ms.) is the true reading, tho it is not recorded anywhere. The phrase follows, both times, that containing kahāpaṇa-māṃsikaṃ (or kārṣāpaṇa°), q.v., while in Pali lists of tortures kahāpaṇakaṃ regularly follows balisamaṃsikaṃ. It is certain that we must understand some torture by means of fishhooks
should we read biliśa-tāṃ, fishhook-condition, i.e. being torn with fishhooks? The preceding words are much like those quoted as occurring before kahāpaṇa-māṃsikaṃ.
