牛貨洲(古云瞿伽尼或云瞿耶尼或名瞿陀尼皆訛轉也正云遇嚩柅義譯為牛貨毘曇云以彼多牛用牛貨易故因以為名)。

牛貨洲 [Aparagodānīya continent] (Anciently called 瞿伽尼, 瞿耶尼, or 瞿陀尼 [Godānīya], which are all corrupt transliterations. Properly it is 遇嚩柅 [Aparagodānīya], translated by its meaning as 'Cattle Goods' (牛貨). The Abhidharma says: “Because they have many cattle there and trade using cattle, it was named accordingly”).
