持鎌（下斂占反方言云自關而西謂之鎌刈物具也說文從金兼聲經作鐮俗用字也）。

持鎌 ("holding a sickle": the second character is fanqie 斂占 [lián]. The Fangyan says: 'West of the Pass it is called a 鎌; an implement for reaping.' The Shuowen jiezi says: 'Derived from 金 with 兼 as phonetic.' The sūtra text writes it as 鐮, which is a vulgar character).
