今はもはや（奥州の最期は）これまでと思われたので、「心静かに腹を切ろう。幕を引け」とおっしゃったので、押小路大宮に小竹の茂みが一箇所ある場所に、三引両の紋の幕を引いた。しかし奥州は、押小路よりやや北に小塚が一つある場所で、北向きに馬を立て直し、主従九騎で持ちこたえていた。小次郎は七騎で猪熊の通りに控えていた。
奥州は左の眉の上を長刀で突かれ、両眼に血が流れ込んだので、目もくらみ心も乱れたのであろうか、少し心を落ち着かせようと前輪に手をかけてもたれかかり、馬を少し前に進めるようにしておられたところを、一色左京大夫が馳せ寄って、四尺八寸の泥丸（という刀）でしたたかに二太刀打ったので、どうして堪えられようか、弓手（左）の方へ落ちられると、一色右馬頭が続いて馬から下り立ち、今度（このたび）御所から賜った国綱の太刀を持って、起き上がろうとする妻手（右）の肩当たりに、片膝をかけて切り落とした。大きな傷であったので、起き上がることもできず、
【左丁】
西枕に伏せってしまわれた。左京大夫も下り立って、甲を一太刀切って取り直し、内甲へ（刀を）込めると、高らかに念仏を唱えられただけで、（その様子は）鬼神のように恐ろしかった。
氏清は四十八歳とのことで、押小路大宮にて詮範父子の手にかかり、ついに討たれてしまわれた。山口弾正も同じ場所で討死した。山名小次郎の七騎の兵のうち五騎は討たれ、二騎は行方知れずとなった。乗っていた馬は切り殺されたので、今にも討たれようとしていたところに、狩野平五がどこからか馳せ来て、すぐさま馬から下り立ち、「この馬にお乗りください」と言って小次郎を馬に担ぎ乗せたのを、敵が隙間もなく懸かってきたので、「小次郎殿の御乳母子、狩野平五はここにあり」と名乗りを上げながら敵二騎を切り落とし、自らも討死したのを見て、小次郎も馳せ寄って討死しようとしたところ、奥州の最期の念仏の声がかすかに耳に入ったので、戦っていた敵を打ち払って奥州の方を見ると、すでに奥州は討たれて首を差し上げられていた。
英語訳
**[Right folio]**
Believing that the end had now truly come, Ōshū declared, "Let me cut open my belly in peace. Draw up the curtains." At the place along Oshikōji-Ōmiya where there was a small grove of bamboo, a curtain bearing the three-stripe *hikuryō* (三引両) crest was drawn up. However, Ōshū repositioned his horse to face north at a spot slightly north of Oshikōji where there was a small burial mound, and held his ground with just nine horsemen, master and retainers together. Kojirō held his position on the Inokuma road with seven horsemen.
Ōshū had been struck above his left eyebrow by a naginata, and blood poured into both his eyes; his vision darkened and his mind grew confused. Attempting to calm himself, he leaned forward onto the front saddle bow, and was in the process of urging his horse slightly forward when Isshiki Sakyō-no-daibu rode up and struck him two powerful blows with his sword "Doromaru," measuring four shaku and eight sun in length. How could he possibly endure this? As Ōshū fell to the left (the bow-hand side), Isshiki Umanokashira dismounted in close pursuit and, taking up his sword "Kunikatsu" — received from the Shogunal palace on this occasion — cut down onto Ōshū's right (sword-hand) shoulder as he attempted to rise, driving his knee down upon him and slicing through. The wound was grievous, and Ōshū could not rise again.
**[Left folio]**
He lay down with his head to the west. Sakyō-no-daibu also dismounted, struck at his helmet with one blow, readjusted his grip, and thrust into the inner helmet. Ōshū called out the nembutsu in a loud voice only once, and the scene was fearsome as if he were a demon or god.
Ujikiyo, said to have been forty-eight years of age, fell at Oshikōji-Ōmiya at the hands of Akinori (詮範) and his son, and was finally slain. Yamaguchi Danjō also died in battle at the same place. Of the seven horsemen accompanying Yamana Kojirō, five were killed and two disappeared without a trace. His horse was cut down and killed, and just as Kojirō was on the verge of being slain himself, Kano Heigo came galloping up from somewhere, immediately dismounted, and said "Please mount this horse," lifting Kojirō up onto it. As the enemy pressed in without a moment's gap, Kano called out repeatedly, "Kojirō-dono's foster-brother Kano Heigo is here!" — cut down two enemy horsemen — and then fell in battle himself. Seeing this, Kojirō also rode forward, intending to die in battle; but the faint sound of Ōshū's final nembutsu reached his ears, so he drove back the enemy he was engaged with and looked toward Ōshū — only to find that Ōshū had already been slain, and his severed head was being held aloft.
