ている間にまた声があるのを掘り出して助け合い、また火を防ごうとなしたが、とても力が及ばず、火勢はますます盛んになり、風は未申の方（南西）より吹き立ち、如来御本堂が既に危うく見えた所、御屋根上・三門の屋根上に数多の人影が現れ、八方へ駆け回り飛び火を防いだ。地震にも揺り潰れず、焼失もなく、夜が明けて御屋根を見上げれば、数多いた人が一人も見えず、誠に不思議なことであった。松代様より御防御の人数多勢をお召し連れになりご出役があった。六川御陣中よりも左の通り。下後町が火元となったが、消し止めとなった。同夜命助かった者は残らず野中に伏し、雨露
【左丁】
にあたり、地震は止まず、火気は激しく、二日二夜焼け、誠に難儀嘆かわしいこと言語に絶えた。
一、御山内は大本願上人様御境内の諸堂残らず、衆徒二十一院中衆十五坊、妻戸十坊、残らず焼失。仁王門・御堂庭・小間物店・茶屋・筵張りの見世物小屋類三丁余、残らず焼失。別当大勧進様は半潰れにて残る。経蔵・鐘楼堂・万善堂は無事。御本堂へ毎夜通夜の旅人数百人籠っていたが、この日夜は別して多く籠っていた所、一人も怪我もなく無事にて出る、有り難いことであった。
一、御寺領町家焼失の分：大門町上下・長野町・西町

...while digging out and rescuing those whose voices could still be heard, and trying to prevent the fire, but their efforts were no match for it. The fire intensified more and more, winds blew up from the southwest direction, and the main Buddha hall appeared to be in grave danger. Then, numerous human figures appeared on the roofs of the main hall and the Sanmon gate, running in all directions to prevent flying sparks. Though not collapsed by the earthquake nor consumed by fire, when dawn broke and people looked up at the roofs, not a single person among the many could be seen - truly a mysterious thing. The lord of Matsudai brought many firefighting personnel and came to serve. From the Rokugawa encampment as well, as follows: Shimogo-machi was the source of the fire but was brought under control. Those who survived that night all lay down in the fields, exposed to rain and dew.

The earthquake did not stop, the heat was fierce, it burned for two days and two nights - truly a difficult and lamentable situation beyond words.
- In the temple precincts: all the various halls of the Great Head Priest's compound, 15 of the 21 priests' quarters, all 10 residential quarters - all burned down. The Niomon gate, temple courtyards, sundry goods shops, teahouses, and mat-covered entertainment stalls for about three blocks - all burned down. The head administrator's building was half-collapsed but remained. The sutra repository, bell tower, and Manzen hall were unharmed. Several hundred pilgrims who stayed overnight in the main hall every night were there, and on this particular night there were especially many, yet not one was injured and all emerged safely - a truly grateful thing.
- Temple domain townhouses burned: Upper and Lower Daimon-machi, Nagano-machi, Nishi-machi
