天獻吉祥草（獻音軒建反鄭箋詩云獻奉也進也鄭注周禮云古者奉物於君及尊長曰獻說文從犬鬳聲鬳音言建反傳作捊非也今不取下文賈客獻𪍑亦準此釋不復再出也）。

A deva presents auspicious kuśa grass (天獻吉祥草: 獻 has the fanqie xuān + jiàn [xiàn]. Zheng Xuan's commentary to the Shijing says: 'Xiàn means to present, to offer.' Zheng Xuan's commentary to the Zhouli says: 'In ancient times, offering things to a ruler or elder was called xiàn.' The Shuowen jiezi says: 'Formed from 犬 (dog) with 鬳 phonetic.' 鬳 has the fanqie yán + jiàn [xiàn]. Transmitted texts write it as 捊, which is erroneous and not adopted here. The merchant presenting roasted flour below should also be interpreted according to this; it is not treated again).
