36.69

Cow together with its calf (the first is pronounced zì, which is a mother cow; the second is pronounced dú; its calf must have a matching coat colour to be superior. The sūtra mentions dozens of varieties of flowers, incenses, mixed fruits, foods, and drinks; although there are difficult characters among these items, none can have their pronunciations given, because these flowers, incenses, fruits, and foods do not exist in this land at all; their Sanskrit names are sometimes correct and sometimes incorrect, and even if pronunciations were provided, the things themselves do not exist, which is why pronunciations are not given).
