26.33

麒麟(渠之反力真反說文仁獸也頭上一角角端頭有宍麝身牛尾經文作騏驎字說文云馬文如綦文者也驎力振反爾雅白馬黑脣曰驎並非經義)。

Qilin (pronounced 渠 + 之 and 力 + 真 in fanqie; the Shuowen says: "A benevolent beast; it has a single horn atop its head with flesh at the tip of the horn, the body of a musk deer, and the tail of an ox"; the sūtra text writes it with the horse radical as 騏驎; the Shuowen says: "A horse with patterned markings like qi-brocade"; lin is pronounced 力 + 振 in fanqie; the Erya says: "A white horse with black lips is called a lin"; neither of these is the meaning in the sūtra).
