又五道受生經云。兒生三歲。凡飲一百八十斛乳。除其胎中食亦分之。東弗于逮人。飲一千八百斛乳。西拘耶尼人。飲一萬八百斛乳。北欝單越人。七日成身。初生之日置百路道行人授指與𠲿。所以不飲乳也（此之斛斗是古小斗三斗當今一斗舊人身形姝大不同今小兒恐怪乳多故別疏記）。

Furthermore, the *Wudao shousheng jing* says: 'When an infant is born up to three years of age, it drinks a total of one hundred and eighty *hu* of milk, not counting the nourishment in the womb, which is also a share of it. A person of Pūrvavideha drinks one thousand eight hundred *hu* of milk. A person of Aparagodānīya drinks ten thousand eight hundred *hu* of milk. A person of Uttarakuru completes the body in seven days; on the day of birth, they are placed at a crossroads where passersby offer a finger to suckle. Therefore, they do not drink milk.' (These bushels and pecks are ancient small bushels; three bushels equal one modern bushel. Ancient people's bodies were exceptionally large and unlike modern infants; for fear that people would find the large quantity of milk strange, this separate note is made.)
