The Erya says: 'The rhinoceros resembles a pig.' Guo Pu's commentary says: 'Its shape resembles a water buffalo with a pig's head, large belly, and short legs, each foot having three hooves; it is black with three horns—one on top of the head, and one on the snout. The one on the snout is called the feeding horn, and it loves to eat thorns; there are also those with a single horn.' The sūtra uses the metaphor of the single-horned \[rhinoceros\]. The Shuowen jiezi states that it is composed of the ox radical (牛) and an abbreviation of tail (尾)). > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 14.131](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2128.14.131) - [Next: 14.133](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2128.14.133) - [Up: 14](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2128.14) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2128~en-mt.14.132) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2128.14.132](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2128.14.132) · Pramāṇa
