村は今は秋の野を風の速さで過ぎ去るように、雪の朝日に消えるように激しく潰れ、家にいる人々は皆、柱に打ち当てられ、壁に負われ、棟木に圧迫されて、材木の間に左右の手と両足を挟まれ、逃げることもできずにいるうちに、火の禍津日神の荒ぶる力が来て、灯火が至る所に立ち籠め、手に触れるものは白粉のような土となり、人々は火の中にある。極めて命が危うく、岩のように堅く凝り固まった荒れた土地は八咫ほどに裂け通り、湧き出し溢れる水は田を西に溢れさせ、畑に満ち、遠くまで流れ、八つの街に流れて広がり、遥か遠くまで避難した麓の山を離れ、山を金木のように、人の家も木立のままに激しく崩れ落ち、続々と川中に角のように障る岩倉山を、犀川の千尋の庭に激しく

崩し、白木綿の花の速い川を塞ぎ、思うままに滴ることも漏れることもさやりもせねば、名に負う厥の湖水の浦も狭くなり、見回すと左右の手に畳み重なった古い名残りで、虫に喰われた久米路の橋も岩崩れで濡れ恐れ、崩れに漂えば激しく潰れた家々は皆、連なって浮かび上がっている。そう伝え聞く日を数えながら夜々を籠って過ごしていると、郭公が一声、また二声と聞こえてくる。住み慣れた中の三日の夕べ、月の速い山の端に望み見える、彼の誰時に満ちる砂土も障りも岩が根も、共に崩れて、綿津見の霊なる神の御功に、瑗という玉を持って帰る蒼海を満たす。我が如く高々と川中島に鳴き渡って満ち

The village now passes swiftly like wind across autumn fields, like snow melting in the morning sun, violently crushed. People in their homes are all struck against pillars, pressed against walls, compressed by ridge beams, with their left and right hands and both feet caught between timber pieces, unable to escape. Meanwhile, the destructive power of the Fire-Calamity deity arrives, lanterns blaze everywhere, everything touched by hand turns to powdery earth, and people find themselves in the midst of fire. With lives in extreme danger, the hardened, consolidated rough earth splits apart for eight fathoms, gushing and overflowing water spills westward into rice fields, fills the dry fields, flows far into the distance, spreads through eight streets, and those who evacuated to distant foothills leave the mountains behind. Mountains like golden trees, people's houses along with groves violently collapse and fall, one after another into the river. The rocky Iwakura Mountain that obstructs like horns in the river, violently into the thousand-fathom garden of the Sai River

collapses, blocking the swift river of white cotton flowers. When it neither drips nor leaks nor flows as it wishes, even the renowned lake waters become narrow, and looking around, left and right hands are layered with old remnants, the worm-eaten Kumji Bridge is wetted and frightened by rockslides, and when swept away by the collapse, the violently destroyed houses all float up in succession. Counting the days of hearing such reports while spending nights in shelter, one hears the cuckoo call once, then twice. On the third evening in our familiar dwelling, gazing at the swift mountain edge of the moon, the sand and soil, obstructions and rock foundations all collapse together in that twilight hour, and with the spiritual power of the sea deity Watatsumi, holding the gem called Yuan, filling the blue sea that returns. Like myself, crying high across the river island, filling
