Entry 10999, Page 401, Col. 2

(busaplAvI, busaplAvI)
? busaplāvī¦, acc. sg. °vīm, something disagreeable (hard, or foul, offensive) to eat; parallel with ayoguḍa, svamāṃsa, pūyaśoṇita: Divy 12.25; 13.17; all things which niggards wished a mendicant should eat, and which later they were therefore obliged to eat themselves. The Index renders beetle (?); I do not know why. The first member seems to be Skt. busa, chaff, refuse, rubbish; perh. the ed. of Divy understood the latter part as leaping (in chaff of grain; even this need not lead to the mg. beetle). Same passage MSV iv.176.7; 177.11; Tib. cited as phub ma, chaff (= busa), for the entire word.
