26.33

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).
