禽獸（上渠林反白虎通云禽者鳥獸之総名明為人所禽制也尒雅云二足而羽謂之禽說文𡗱獸之總名也頭象形從禸今聲禽离兕頭相似也下詩救反尒雅云四足而毛曰獸蒼頡篇𡗱者也說文守𬾨也從犬嘼亦聲經本作狩大獵也非經義也禸音柔夂反嘼音休又反）。

> Birds and beasts (禽獸: the first character is pronounced \[渠 + 林\] q-ín \[qín\]. The Baihu tong says: "Birds (qin) is a general term for birds and beasts, making clear that they are caught (qin) and restrained by humans." The Erya says: "Those with two feet and feathers are called qin." The Shuowen says: "A general term for captured beasts. The head is pictographic; it derives from 禸 and takes 今 as phonetic. The head of a bird (qin), wild beast (li), or rhinoceros (si) are similar." The second character is pronounced \[詩 + 救\] sh-òu \[shòu\]. The Erya says: "Those with four feet and fur are called beasts (shou)." The Cangjie pian says: "Those that are captured." The Shuowen says: "To guard against wild animals. It derives from dog (犬), with 嘼 also serving as phonetic." The base text of the sūtra has 狩 \[hunting\], meaning a great hunt, which is not the meaning intended in the sūtra. 禸 is pronounced \[柔 + 夂\] r-ǒu \[róu\]; 嘼 is pronounced \[休 + 又\] x-iù \[xiù\]).
