令を行えば」天は沈み陰って揺雨が早く降り、兵革が並び起こる。冬令を行えば、寒気が時に発して草木が皆粛殺される。国に大いなる恐れがある。運気論に曰く「丙午丁未は知らざるなり」。ここに今年丁未の季春癸卯の日亥の時、大地が動いて一挙に民家・寺院・堂塔・神社仏閣がことごとく転倒し、圧死・傷失があった。山川の別なく裂けて通り、泥水が涌出して泉池の流れを塞ぎ、下が岳に昇った。丹波島川上山平林の郷中、岩倉山が崩れて数十丈、山と山とを挟み、経十四五町、緯は一町余り、大川を寄せ塞いだ。故に下流は忽ちに涸れ、上は湛水が潮のようであった。人家は水面に漂うこと二十日、孟夏中の三日申の時、湛水の塞がった所が溢れ、高岸が暫時に崩れ、漲水が天を

滔々と流し、更級・水内・高井・埴科の四郡の人民・牛馬・廬舎が流失し、勝って計え難い。善光寺より北国道筋、淘潰した村々、横山が皆潰れ、相ノ木村は潰れた上に焼失し、押鐘村・吉田村をはじめとして越後国関川まで。なかでも吉村は山抜けで家人共々土中に埋まった。高井郡飯山の城郭は転倒して地の高低を成すこと一丈余り、すべて市中が一丈余り一面に浮上がり、家屋はことごとく焼失した。もともとこの地は窪地で時々水損の地であったが、高丘をなし、水災は前代未曾有である。これより越後谷の通行所々が転倒する。このような洪水で田畑を損じ、新潟に至って凡そ六十里である。

ordinances are practiced," the sky becomes overcast and shaking rains fall early, and military conflicts arise together. If winter ordinances are practiced, cold air occasionally rises and all vegetation withers. There is great fear in the land. The Theory of Cosmic Cycles states: "The years of hinoe-uma and hinoto-hitsuji are unknowable." Here, in this year of hinoto-hitsuji, on the day of mizunoto-u in late spring, at the hour of the boar, the great earth shook and in one stroke, all private homes, temples, pagodas, shrines and Buddhist halls collapsed, causing deaths by crushing and injuries. Mountains and rivers split open without distinction, muddy water gushed forth, blocking the flow of springs and ponds, with the lower areas rising to become peaks. In the village of Hirabayashi in the upstream mountains of Tanba Island River, Mount Iwakura collapsed several tens of jō, spanning between mountains for fourteen to fifteen chō in length and over one chō in width, blocking the great river. Therefore, the downstream suddenly dried up, while upstream the stagnant water was like a tide. Houses floated on the water surface for twenty days. On the third day of early summer at the hour of the monkey, the stagnant water at the blocked location overflowed, high banks collapsed in an instant, and the surging water reached toward heaven.

The torrent swept away people, cattle, horses, and dwellings in the four districts of Sarashina, Minochi, Takai, and Hanishina - the losses were beyond calculation. From Zenkōji along the Hokkoku Road, villages were washed away, all of Yokoyama was destroyed, Ainoki village was not only destroyed but also burned, and from Oshigane village and Yoshida village to the Sekikawa in Echigo Province. Particularly in Yoshi village, the mountain collapsed and families were buried together in the earth. The castle of Iiyama in Takai District toppled over, creating elevation differences of more than one jō. Throughout the entire city, everything rose more than one jō uniformly, and all houses were completely burned. Originally this area was a depression prone to occasional flood damage, but it became elevated ground - this water disaster was unprecedented. From here, various passage points through the Echigo valleys collapsed. Such floods damaged rice fields and farmland, extending approximately sixty ri to Niigata.
