English—gocarika, adj.,
(1) providing sustenance (see s.v. gocara, 3) for … (monks): (tatraiko) baṇig bhikṣugocarikaḥ Divy 〔307.21〕
(2) (= Pali gocariya, see below), ? an epithet of wool, some of which is to be used in making coverlets for monks, Prāt 〔496.10, 12〕
they are to be made of two parts ‘pure black’ (śuddha-kāḍānāṃ) wool, one part white (avadātānāṃ), and the fourth part gocarikānāṃ (gen. pl.), which acc. to Finot is rendered in Chin. by (wool) of inferior quality. In the close Pali parallel Vin. 〔iii.226.25 ff.〕 (ignored in PTSD
Childers records it from Minayeffʼs Prātimokṣa S.) the corresponding epithet, gocariya, is said by the comm. 〔684.21〕 to mean tawny (kapilavaṇṇānaṃ)
this is adopted by Childers
also transl. SBE 〔13.25〕 ‘of the colour of oxen (reddish brown)’, or (below) ‘tawny’
it seems like a dubious guess.
