憍世耶衣者,梵云俱舍,此云繭。西方無家神蠶繭,唯有野神繭,蠶繭所出絲作衣,名憍世耶衣。舊云憍舍耶衣,音訛也。

Regarding 'kauśeya cloth': in Sanskrit it is called kośa, which here means 'cocoon'. In the western regions there are no domestic silkworm cocoons, only wild silkworm cocoons; cloth made from the silk produced from such cocoons is called kauśeya cloth. The old translation says 'qiaosheye cloth', which is an erroneous pronunciation.
