其時普留考務坐ヲ立テ長老ノ胸ヲ抓テ劔ヲ㧞
テ胸ニ押當テ如何ナルカ卽心卽佛ノ奥義ト責
掛テ問ト雖トモ長老不動眼ヲ塞テ黙然タリ淨華
院ノ理道和尚見之兼進テ是ニ對セントス印長
老ノ弟子中少モ不騒未タ落着見ヘス暫ク待給
ヘト止ム因茲理道進ムヿヲ得ス漸ク有テ長老
眼ヲ開キテ喝ト一喝ヲ吐レケレハ普留考務眼
ヲ塞テ忽ニ息絶ス僧家口々ニ邪法正法ニ敵セ
ス新宗邪法ナリト罵ル南蠻宗徒怒テ法問未分
勝劣誰カ知ラント既ニ鬬諍ニ及ハントス信長

But the elder remained unmoved, closing his eyes and remaining silent. When the monk Ridō of Jōke-in temple saw this and stepped forward to respond, the disciples of Elder Inkyo restrained him, saying "He shows no sign of disturbance and still appears composed. Please wait a while." Because of this, Ridō was unable to proceed. After a while, when the elder opened his eyes and uttered a sharp "Katsu!" shout, Burgomestre closed his eyes and immediately expired. The Buddhist monks spoke out in unison, reviling "Evil dharma cannot oppose true dharma; the new sect is heretical." The Southern Barbarian followers became angry and said "The dharma debate's victory or defeat is not yet determined. Who can know?" Just as they were about to engage in conflict, Nobunaga...
