53.9

瞿陀尼 (also named Godānīya [俱耶尼], or named Godānīya [瞿耶尼], or named Godānīya [瞿伽尼]; all are corrupt variants. Go [瞿] is translated here as 'ox'. Dānīya [陀尼夜] here means 'giving and taking' [commerce], because in that land there are many oxen, which are used to trade in markets, just as coins and silks are used in this land; others say there is a stone ox there.)
