毘睇 [pi di]—vidyā, 毘底牙 [pi di ya] knowledge, learning, philosophy, science; incantation; intp. 明呪 [ming zhou] an incantation to get rid of all delusion. The Vidyādharapiṭaka is a section of incantations, etc., added to the Tripiṭaka.
[The following represents an unverified English translation. For all purposes consult the original Chinese text.]
毘睇 [pi di]—Vidyā — [Term] Vidyā, translated as "bright mantra" (明咒 [ming zhou]). It is a Dharani (陀羅尼 [tuo luo ni]) of a mantra (真言 [zhen yan]). A Dharani can dispel the afflictions (煩惱 [fan nao]), darkness, and hindrances (闇障 [an zhang]) of sentient beings, hence it is called "bright". Volume 4 of the Biography of Eminent Monks Seeking the Dharma (求法高僧傳四 [qiu fa gao seng chuan si]) states: "Vidyā is translated as 'bright mantra' (明咒 [ming zhou]), and Dhara (陀羅 [tuo luo]) means 'to uphold' (持 [chi])."
毘睇—【術語】Vidyā，譯曰明咒。真言之陀羅尼也。陀羅尼能破眾生之煩惱闇障，故名明。求法高僧傳四曰：「毘睇譯為明咒，陀羅是持。」
[shù yǔ]Vidyā, yì yuē míng zhòu. zhēn yán zhī tuó luó ní yě. tuó luó ní néng pò zhòng shēng zhī fán nǎo àn zhàng, gù míng míng. qiú fǎ gāo sēng chuán sì yuē: “pí dì yì wèi míng zhòu, tuó luó shì chí.”
