Kācalindika (迦遮隣底迦: the upper and lower two characters both have the fanqie 薑佉; dǐ has the fanqie 丁以. The name of an auspicious bird of the Western regions. Its body has downy feathers that are exceedingly soft and light, woven into cloth only for the wheel-turning sage king (cakravartin) to wear. Now in that country there are still birds of this category seen, but their feathers are coarse and unlike those obtained in the time of a wheel-turning king).
