3.43

【西瞿耶尼】此云牛貨,亦翻取與。《藏疏》云:「以彼多牛,以牛為貨。」《俱舍鈔》云:「劫初時,因高樹下,有一寶牛,為貨易故。」《西域記》云:「西瞿陀尼洲,舊曰瞿那尼,又云劬伽尼,訛。」《俱舍》云:「西牛貨洲,壽五百歲,相圓無缺,長十六肘。」

[Aparagodānīya] Here translated as 'Cattle Goods', and also translated as 'Taking and Giving'. The Zangshu says: "Because they have many cattle, they use cattle as currency." The Kośa-chao says: "At the beginning of the kalpa, beneath a tall tree, there was a precious cow used for trading goods." The Record of the Western Regions says: "The western continent of Godānīya was formerly called Qunani or Qujianii, both corrupt." The Abhidharmakośa says: "In the western continent of Godānīya, lifespan is five hundred years; its shape is round without defect, and [its people are] sixteen cubits tall."
