現代語訳

して山林に隠れた。その終わる所を知らない。在位十一年。

舜天より義本に至るまで、およそ三世七十三年。その後二百年、義本の裔である尚圓が統を復してより、連綿として尚泰に至る。これは蓋し舜天の徳が永く尽きることがないところである。

英祖王

英祖王の父を恵祖という。伊祖の按司である。恵祖は善行を積み徳があった。妻を娶って久しく子がなかった。晩年に至って、妻が日輪が懐に入る夢を見て妊娠した。やがて英祖を生んだ。その生まれた日、光彩が屋に満ち、人々は異香を聞いた。幼くして聡明で、賢者を親しみ道を崇んだ。歳二十の時、飢饉と疫病が並び行われ、民生が安らかでないことに会い、英祖はそこで国王義本の命を奉じて政を摂すること七年、飢饉と疫病は自ら止み、人心は始めて安らかになった。遂に義本の禅譲を受けて王となった。

弘長元年辛酉、田野を巡視し、経界を正し、始めて民賦を均らした。初め天孫氏の世には賦税というものがなかった。国事があれば民に稲一束を課した《割書：その制は索を以て人頭を廻らし、定めて一尺とす。以て稲を束ね、名づけて一束とす》。後に毎年一束を貢した。この時に至って均田の法を行い、百度悉く挙がり、国内は大いに治まり、刑罰は措いて用いなかった。久米、慶良間、伊比屋、大島の諸島が始めて隷属した。これにおいて公館を泊村に建て《割書：今の泊御殿》、公倉をその北に設けた《割書：今の天久山聖現寺》。僧禅鑑が海を航して来た。英祖は彼のために寺を浦添に建てて極楽寺と名づけた。これは

英語訳

and retreated to the mountains and forests. The place where he ended his life is unknown. He reigned for eleven years.

From Shunten to Yoshimoto, there were altogether three generations spanning seventy-three years. Two hundred years later, Yoshimoto's descendant Shō En restored the lineage, continuing unbroken down to Shō Tai. This is surely because Shunten's virtue was inexhaustible for all time.

King Eiso

King Eiso's father was called Keiso, who was the aji (lord) of Iso. Keiso accumulated good deeds and had virtue. He took a wife but had no children for a long time. In his later years, his wife dreamed that the sun entered her womb and became pregnant. In due time she gave birth to Eiso. On the day of his birth, brilliant light filled the house and people smelled a mysterious fragrance. From childhood he was intelligent, befriended the wise, and revered the Way. At the age of twenty, when famine and epidemic occurred together and the people's livelihood was not peaceful, Eiso thereupon received King Yoshimoto's command and administered the government for seven years. The famine and epidemic ceased naturally, and the people's hearts became peaceful for the first time. He finally received Yoshimoto's abdication and became king.

In the first year of Kōchō, kanoto-tori, he toured the fields, corrected the boundaries, and for the first time made the people's taxes equitable. Initially in the age of the Tenson dynasty there were no taxes. When there were state affairs, they levied one bundle of rice from the people. 《marginal note: The system used rope to measure around a person's head, fixing it at one shaku. With this they bundled rice, calling it one bundle》. Later they contributed one bundle every year. At this time he implemented the law of equal fields, all governmental affairs were successfully carried out, the country was greatly well-governed, and punishments were set aside and not used. The various islands of Kume, Kerama, Iheya, and Ōshima first became subordinate. Thereupon he built a public hall in Tomari village 《marginal note: the present Tomari Palace》 and established a public storehouse to its north 《marginal note: the present Tenguyama Shōgen-ji Temple》. The monk Zenkan came sailing across the sea. Eiso built a temple for him in Urasoe and named it Gokuraku-ji. This was
