現代語訳
梅庵を招き入れた。《割書：従僧二人、笠持ち一人、挟み箱一人、草履取り一人、駕籠の者四人、若党二人、上下十二人なり》梅庵は美しい服を着て、名香で辺りを薫らせていた。当時は乱世の頃で、まだ京へも三里、夜道の物騒で物憂いところ、一夜の御厚志ありがたく候とて、投宿の礼謝を述べて宿泊した。翌朝に至り、母は家内に指示して「御僧の宗旨は知らねども、もしや仏壇の尋ねもあろうかと」仏間の掃除等まで心を配っておいたけれども、客僧は少しもそのことに触れることもなく、上下して母のもてなしを受け、心遣いの礼を述べて帰った。母は思案して家内の者に語ったのは「客僧の様子を見れば、白服、緋縮緬、飛色等の美服を着し、天鵞絨の襟巻きなど、甚だ尋常の僧の風体と異なり、殊に内仏等をも尋ねず、必ず新宗南蛮寺の僧であろう」と推測して語った。四、五日を経た後、侍一人が中門に挟み箱を持たせ「南蛮寺同宿梅庵の使いの者なり」と案内して来る。伽羅一斤、緞子五巻、縮緬五巻を台に積み載せ、一宿の礼謝を述べて贈って来た。母は甚だ驚き、過分の賜物で甚だ難儀である由、段々と辞退に及んだけれども、使いの者は差し置いて帰った。その後も或いは絽、又は糸類等、折に触れ時に従って音物して、やむを得ず受け取った。遥かに程が過ぎた後、雨天の夕暮れ、また堺からの帰りと偽って、この老母の宿に
英語訳
invited Baian inside. 《Marginal note: Two accompanying monks, one hat-bearer, one document box carrier, one sandal bearer, four palanquin bearers, two young attendants - twelve people in total above and below》 Baian wore beautiful clothing and perfumed the area with fine incense. At that time, during the turbulent period when it was still three ri to Kyoto and night travel was dangerous and troublesome, he said "I am grateful for your kind hospitality for one night," expressed his gratitude for the lodging, and stayed the night. Come morning, the mother instructed the household staff: "Though I do not know the monk's sect, in case he might inquire about our Buddhist altar," she had them carefully clean the Buddhist room and such, but the guest monk made no mention of such matters at all. He received the mother's hospitality with proper respect, expressed his gratitude for her thoughtfulness, and departed. The mother reflected and told the household members: "Observing the guest monk's appearance, he wore fine garments of white robes, scarlet silk crepe, brilliant colors, and a velvet collar wrap - quite different from the appearance of ordinary monks. Moreover, he made no inquiries about our household Buddhist altar. He must surely be a monk of the new sect, the Nanban temple," she conjectured and told them. Four or five days later, a samurai came to the middle gate carrying a document box, announcing himself as "a messenger from Baian, a fellow monk of Nanban temple." He brought one pound of aloes wood, five rolls of damask, and five rolls of silk crepe loaded on a stand, expressing gratitude for the one night's lodging as he presented these gifts. The mother was greatly surprised and repeatedly declined, saying the excessive gifts caused her great difficulty, but the messenger left them and departed. Thereafter, whether silk gauze or thread materials and such, he would send gifts according to the occasion and season, and she had no choice but to accept them. After a considerable time had passed, on a rainy evening, again falsely claiming to be returning from Sakai, he sought lodging with this elderly mother.
