Because it's autumn
who travels past the mountain
in Kannabi, it's
to the Tatsuta River
she offers her prayer strips.
kannabi no
yama o sugiyuku
aki nareba
tatsutagawa ni zo
nusa wa tamukuru

Original by Kiyohara no Fukayabu. Here kannabi is understood as the specific place, making the "mountain in/of Kannabi" Mt. Mimuro, which the Tatsuta does indeed flow past. I'm unclear on whether the offerings are made "in" or "to" the river -- ni can indicate either a location or an indirect object. I use "she" for the season to identify it, as in #298, with the goddess Tatsutahime.kannabi no
