" ; babyhood, playtime, trial time, erect time,
learning time, ascetic time, prophet time & prostrate
time. Cp. the 10 decades of man's life, as given by
Bdhgh at Vism 619). — Bdhgh, when defining the 2
meanings of bhumi as " maha-pathavi " and as " cittuppada"
(rise of thought) had in view the distinction
between its literal & figurative meaning. But this def
(at DhsA 214) is vague & only popular. — An old loc.
of bhumi is bhumya, e. g. J 1.507 ; v.84. Another form
of bhumi at end of cpds. is bhiinia (q. v.).

Bhuri' (f.) [cp. late Sk. bhur] the earth ; given
as name for
the earth (pathavi) at Ps 11. 197
147. Besides these only in 2 doubtful cpds.,
resting on demonology, viz. bhurikamma D 1.12,
both
expl''
as " practices to be observed by one living in a bhurighara
or earth-house" (?) DA 1.97, but cp. Vedic
; see also def. at DhsA
bhuri-karman " much effecting " ; and bhurivijja
D 1.9. expH as " knowledge of charms to be pronounced
by one living in an earth-house" (?) DA 1.93. See
Dial.
there
1.18, 25. The meaning of the terms is obscure;
may have been (as Kern rightly suggests : see
Toev. s. V.) quite a diff. popular practice behind them,
which was unknown to the later Commentator. Kern
suggests that bhiiri-vijja might be a secret science to
find gold (digging for it : science of hidden treasures),
and °kamma might be " making gold " (alchemistic
science). Perhaps the term bhumma-jala is to be
connected with these two.
Bhuri' (adj.) [cp. Vedic bhuri] wide, extensive, much,
abundant, DhsA 147 (in def. of the term bhuri', i. e.

for bhendu = kandu-] a kind of missile used as a weapon,
arrow Vin 111.77 (where enum'' with asi, satti & laguja

Bhendu [with v. 1. gendu, of uncertain reading & meaning.
Pischel. Prk. Gr. § 107 gives gindu & remarks that this
cannot be derived fr. kanduka (although kandu may
be considered as gloss of bhendu at Th i, 164: see
kandu^), but belongs with Prk. gendui play & P.
genduka and the originally Sk. words genduka, ginduka,
gendu, genduka to a root gid, gi^, Prk. gindai to play.
Morris, J.P.T.S. 1884, 90 says :
I am inclined to read
"
gendu in all cases & to compare it with geduka & genduka U
a ball"] a ball, bead ; also a ball-shaped ornament or I
turret, cupola Th i, 164 (see kandu^) J 1.386 (also °maya
ball-shaped) ; in. 184 (v. 1. gendu).
