3.221

【摩羅伽隷】此云碼碯,此寶色如馬之腦,因以為名。赤白色,琢成器,有文如纏絲焉。梵名謨薩羅揭婆。謨薩羅,此云杵;揭婆,此云藏。或言胎者,取馬腦堅實為名也。

[Mārgara] Here translated as agate; this treasure's color is like a horse's brain, hence it was named so. It is red and white; carved into vessels, it has patterns like wound silk. The Sanskrit name is musāragalva. Musāra is here translated as pestle; garbha is here translated as treasury. Or some say matrix (womb), named on account of the horse's brain being solid and hard.
