千年の松柏は水のほとりに傾き、緑の傘蓋を差しかけ、百囲もある檜杉は巌にそびえ立ち、紺青の楼閣を構えている。五彩の花は一株に雑色をなし、六時の鳥は同じく響きながら異なる嘴を持つ。白鶴は汀で舞い、紺碧の鳥は水で戯れ、翼を振るえば鈴のごとく、音を吐けば玉のように響く。松風は琴を懸け、波に抵して鼓を調べ、五音争って奏で、天韻は八徳と共に澹々として自ずから貯えられる。霧の帳、雲の幕は時々難陀の覆いとなり、星燈雷炬は数々普香の把束をなす。池中の円月を見て普賢の鏡智を知り、空裡の恵日を仰いで遍智が我にあることを覚る。この勝地に託して聊か伽藍を建て、神宮寺と名づけここに住んで修道すること荏苒として四祀。七年四月、更に北涯に移り住む。四望に障碍なく、沙場は愛すべく、異華の色は名づけ難く目を驚かし、奇香の臭いは尋ね難く意を悦ばせる。霊仙は何処へ去ったか知れず、神人は髣髴として存するが如し。歳精の記録なきを忿り、王侯の遊ばざるを惜しみ、餓虎を思えども遇わず、子喬を訪えども適々去る。華蔵を心海に観じ、実相を眉山に念ず。薀蘿もて寒を遮り、蔭葉もて暑を避け、菜を喫し水を喫して楽しみはその中にあり。乍ち彳ち乍ち

塵外に出づること、九皋の鶴声は天に達し易し。延暦中、柏原天皇これを聞いて便ち上野国講師に任じ、利他あり。時に虚心もて物を逐い、また華厳精舎を都賀郡城山に建立し、これに就きかれに往きて物を利し道を弘む。大同二年に去り、国に陽九あり、州司法師に令して雨を祈らしむ。則ち補陀洛山に上りて祈祷し、応時に甘雨霶霈し、百穀豊登す。所有の仏業は縷々説くこと能わず。嗟、日車は駐め難く、人間は変わり易し。心に従って忽ち四蛇に至り、虚羸摂誘これ務む。能事畢んぬ。前下野伊博士公と法師善くして秩満ちて京に入る。時に法師勝境の記録なきを嘆き、文を余茟に属せんと要す。伊公と余は故より辞すも免れず、課虚抽毫して乃ち銘を為して曰く
鶏黄地を裂き粋気天に昇り、蟾烏運転し万類跰闐す。山海錯峙し、幽明阡を殊にす。俗波生滅し、真水道先んず。一塵嶽を構え、一滴湖を深くし、埃泉委聚して神都を画飭す。嶺岑梯すべからず、鸑鷟図るべからず。皚々たる雪嶺

The thousand-year-old pines and cypresses lean toward the water, casting green canopies; the hundred-span hinoki and cedar trees tower against the cliffs, forming indigo pavilions. Five-colored flowers display mixed hues on a single stem; birds of the six periods respond together yet with different beaks. White cranes dance on the shore, indigo birds play in the water; when they spread their wings it sounds like bells, when they sing their voices ring like jade. Pine winds suspend harps, waves striking rocks tune drums; the five tones compete in performance, heavenly melodies naturally store the eight virtues in tranquility. Mist curtains and cloud drapes sometimes form Nanda's covering; star lamps and thunder torches repeatedly bundle universal fragrance. Seeing the full moon in the pond, one knows Samantabhadra's mirror wisdom; looking up at the sun of compassion in the sky, one realizes universal wisdom within oneself. Entrusting this sacred place, I built a temple and named it Jingūji, residing here in spiritual practice for four years. In the seventh year, fourth month, I moved to the northern shore. The four directions are unobstructed, the sandy ground is lovely; the colors of exotic flowers are indescribable and startle the eye, the fragrance of rare scents is unfathomable and delights the heart. The immortal sages have gone to unknown places, divine beings exist as if in shadowy form. Lamenting the lack of records of yearly spirits, regretting that kings and nobles do not visit, thinking of hungry tigers but not encountering them, seeking Master Ziqiao but finding he has just departed. Contemplating the Lotus Treasury in the ocean of mind, meditating on true reality at Eyebrow Mountain. Using trailing vines to block the cold, shade leaves to avoid heat, eating vegetables and drinking water - joy lies within this. Sometimes walking, sometimes...

Emerging from the dusty world, the crane's cry from the nine marshes easily reaches heaven. During the Enryaku era, Emperor Kashiwabara heard this and appointed him as lecturer of Kōzuke Province, bringing benefit to others. At times with empty mind following things, he also built a Kegon temple at Mount Shiroyama in Tsuga District, going here and there to benefit beings and spread the Way. Departing in Daidō 2, when the province faced calamity, the provincial governor ordered the dharma master to pray for rain. He then ascended Mount Potalaka for prayers, and timely sweet rain poured down abundantly, bringing bountiful harvests. All his Buddhist works cannot be described in detail. Alas, the sun's chariot is hard to stop, human affairs change easily. Following the heart, suddenly arriving at the four snakes, attending to the affairs of weakness and enticement. His able work was completed. Former Shimotsuke scholar-doctor Kō and the dharma master were on good terms; when his term was completed he entered the capital. At that time, the dharma master lamented the lack of records of this sacred realm and requested that I compose a text. Kō and I tried to decline but could not escape, so extracting from emptiness and taking up the brush, I composed this inscription saying:
The yellow of roosters splits the earth and pure qi ascends to heaven; the toad and crow revolve as myriad beings bustle about. Mountains and seas stand in varied formation; the mysterious and bright differ in their paths. Mundane waves arise and perish; true water leads the way. One speck of dust constructs a peak, one drop deepens a lake; dust and streams gather together to adorn the divine capital. The mountain peaks cannot be climbed, the phoenix cannot be depicted. The pristine white snow peaks...
