（前丁より続き）春日の西の大宮へ打ち出る。播磨守の兵・土屋党はこれを見て、轡を並べて切って入ったが、土屋党は打ち負けて南へ向かって靡き開けとぞ見えし。佐々木勢が短兵急に挫いたので、大足次郎左衛門尉・同平次左衛門尉・同宮内左衛門尉・同次郎右衛門尉・関平三・胡磨出羽守・本夫近江守・同三郎右衛門尉・米原平九郎・同平五郎を始めとして五十三人が、冷泉西の大宮にて枕を並べて、恩を黄泉の底に報いた。かかる折、播磨守は三十騎ほどにて、二条より少し南の豊縄口に控えていたが、西国勢が此方彼方より馳せ集まり二百騎ほどになったので、重ねて鬨の声をどっと上げ、細川・畠山両陣の勢の中へ懸け入って、身命を捨てて攻め戦ったので、右衛門佐の兵は靡き開けて、内野を差して引いていった。御所様も、この合戦の勝負をもって天下の安否に懸けさせ給いし御事なれば、「旗を進めよ」と
【左丁】
仰せあって、御帯副の「二ツ銘」を抜かせ給い、真っ前に進んで仰せありけるは、「満幸を始めとして叛逆与同の者どもを一人も漏らさず伐り取って六条河原に切り懸けて、向後、傍輩の悪逆を止めよ」と御下知ありけれは、御馬廻の三千余騎、鬨の声をどっと作って進んだところに、一つの不思議があった。御旗が西へ進むと等しく、北野の森の方より山鳩一群飛び来たって、御旗の上に翻ったのである。その中に尾の長さ二尺ばかりなる霊鳩一双交じって、しばらく飛び廻っていたが、播磨守の陣の上を坤（ひつじさる）の方へ飛び行った。これを見る人々は、「さては八幡大菩薩・北野天満天神が奇瑞を顕わして、凶徒を払わせ給う」と、信心肝に銘じつつ、皆頼もしくぞ思われけり。さて、この鳩の飛び去るとひとしく、播磨守は打ち負けて梅津を差して引いて行った。桂川辺にてはすでに討たれぬべく見えたところに、松……

**[Right folio]**
(Continuing from the previous folio) ...they rode out toward the Great Ōmiya avenue west of Kasuga. The troops of Harima-no-kami — the Tsuchiya party — saw this and charged in riding abreast, but the Tsuchiya party was worsted and appeared to fall back, scattering southward. As the Sasaki forces crushed them in a sudden close-quarters assault, fifty-three men — beginning with Ōashi Jirō-zaemon-no-jō, the same Heiji-zaemon-no-jō, the same Kunai-zaemon-no-jō, the same Jirō-uemon-no-jō, Seki Heizō, Koma Dewa-no-kami, Honbu Ōmi-no-kami, the same Jirō-uemon-no-jō, Yonehara Heikurō, and the same Heigurō — lay down their pillows side by side at Reizei-nishi-no-Ōmiya, repaying their lord's benevolence in the depths of the underworld. Meanwhile, Harima-no-kami, with only some thirty horsemen, had held his position at the Toyonawa approach, a little south of Nijō; but as warriors from the western provinces came galloping in from all directions until his force had grown to some two hundred horsemen, he once again raised a great battle cry and charged into the midst of the combined forces of the Hosokawa and Hatakeyama encampments, fighting with utter disregard for his life. As a result, the troops of Uemon-no-suke fell back and dispersed, withdrawing in the direction of Uchino. Since His Lordship the Shogun had staked the safety of the realm on the outcome of this battle, he commanded: "Advance the banner!"
**[Left folio]**
So commanding, He drew the "Futatsu-mei" sword from his belt, advanced to the very fore, and declared: "Cut down every last one of them — Mitsuyuki and all those who conspired in rebellion — not sparing a single man, hang their heads at Rokujō-kawara, and put an end henceforth to the treachery of our companions-in-arms!" With this command, his mounted escort of over three thousand horsemen raised a tremendous battle cry and surged forward — whereupon a wondrous thing occurred. At the very moment the banner advanced westward, a flock of mountain doves came flying from the direction of the Kitano forest and wheeled about above the banner. Among them flew a pair of auspicious doves with tails of some two shaku in length, circling for a time before flying off in the direction of the southwest (the kun direction) over the encampment of Harima-no-kami. All who witnessed this were deeply moved in their faith, believing: "Surely Hachiman Daibosatsu and Kitano Tenmangū are manifesting this miraculous sign to drive away the wicked rebels!" — and all felt heartened and reassured. Then, at the very moment those doves flew away, Harima-no-kami was defeated and withdrew, heading toward Umezu. Near the Katsuragawa river he appeared on the very verge of being killed, but then...
