Visuddhimagga VI-9

Puḷavā vuccanti kimayo, puḷave kiratīti puḷavakaṃ.

（9）诸蛆虫为虫，为虫所散布叫「虫聚」。

Ñ(VI,9): The worm-infested: it is maggots that are called worms (puḷuva); it sprinkles worms (puḷuve kirati), thus it is worm-infested (puḷuvaka).



Kimiparipuṇṇassa chavasarīrassetamadhivacanaṃ.

即充满于虫的尸体是同义语。

Ñ: This is a term for a corpse full of maggots.
