麋鹿（美悲反說文鹿屬也下力木反說文狩也象角支四足形鳥鹿足皆似匕故從二匕周公時訓注云鹿居山林陽狩也故五月感一陰而角解也麋居川澤陰狩也故十一月感一陽而角解今經文作麑非也五奚反狻蘇官反麑師子也為前文已有師子不合更說狻麑必知錯也誤書麋為麑字也）。

麋鹿 [elaphure and deer] (The first is fanqie: 美 + 悲; the Shuowen says: "A species of deer." The second is fanqie: 力 + 木; the Shuowen says: "A game animal, depicting horns, limbs, and four legs; birds and deer have feet resembling spoons, hence it takes two 匕." The Shixun commentary of the Duke of Zhou says: "Deer live in mountains and forests, belonging to yang animals; thus in the fifth month, affected by the emergence of a single yin, their horns shed. Elaphures live in streams and marshes, belonging to yin animals; thus in the eleventh month, affected by the emergence of a single yang, their horns shed." The current sūtra text writes 麑 [fanqie: 五 + 奚], which is incorrect: *suanni* [fanqie: 蘇 + 官] is a lion; since the preceding text already mentions lions, it is improper to mention *suanni* again, so we know for certain it is a mistake, an errant writing of 麋 as 麑).
