I have been reading a book in which an English reference is made to a statement by Saadi of Shiraz:
'The Adept sees that same thing in a camel/as in the beautiful ones of China or Chagil.' (p. 42 Learning How to Learn by Idries Shah)
After an extensive search on the internet I am unable to find any reference (besides a person's last name) to the word Chagil.
I did come across the word in a link on this site describing it potentially as Archaic Persian, but there wasn't much there:

Does anyone know what this word means or what it might refer to? I appreciate any light that anyone may be able to shed on the matter.
