67.133

渴伽月 (In the canon it is written as 佉伽, both being corruptions. The correct form is 朅伽 [khaḍga]; 朅 has the fanqie pronunciation 去 + 謁 [qiè]. This is translated as 'rhinoceros'. Viṣāṇa means 'horn'. It refers to the rhinoceros having a single horn, thus symbolizing solitude, which metaphors the Pratyekabuddha; it means dwelling alone in the mountain forests one by one).
