孩裏，字胡輦，回鶻人。 Hai Li, whose style name was Hunian, was a Uyghur.

孩裏重熙間歷近侍長。 During the Chongxi era Hai Li successively served as chief palace attendant.

會耶律乙辛出守中京，孩裏入賀； When Yelu Yixin went out to guard the Central Capital, Hai Li entered court to offer congratulations;

及議復召，陳其不可。 when the court deliberated recalling him, Hai Li argued that this should not be done.

後乙辛再入樞府，出孩裏為廣利軍節度使。 Later, when Yixin again entered the Military Affairs Commission, he had Hai Li sent out as Military Commissioner of Guangli Army.

及皇太子被誣，孩裏當連坐，有詔勿問。 When the crown prince was falsely accused, Hai Li would have been implicated by association, but an edict ordered that he not be prosecuted.

孩裏素信浮圖。 Hai Li had long been a believer in Buddhism.

言始見二人引至一城，宮室宏敞，有衣絳袍人坐殿上，左右列侍，導孩裏升階。 He said that at first two men led him to a city of vast palaces and halls, where a man in a crimson robe sat upon the dais with attendants ranked to left and right, and they guided Hai Li up the steps.

論曰：孩裏、引吉之為臣也，當乙辛擅權、蕭革貪黷之日，雖與同官，而能以正自處，不少阿唯，其過人遠矣。 The commentary says: As ministers, Hai Li and Yinji lived in the days when Yixin monopolized power and Xiao Ge was greedy and corrupt; though they served alongside such men, they were able to maintain themselves by rectitude and would not fawn or agree—how far they surpassed others.
