爰の栗原｜楢（トチ）原もそこや爰やと北南相木尽し
て三河せば馬越廻りて落合や爰の川端下
梓山秋山富き山里に人井倉もみへざれば
悲敷目にぞ大深山原がへつたに一口も呉（クレ）
てたもるが御所平と乞るゝ人も請（コウ）人口が檜沢や
川平広瀬うき世もせばまりてのへ山越て
ゆく程に足板橋やたべ物も埋（ウメ）尽されぬ
海口すはり兼たる海尻や稲子も稗も
枯果て松原と成福山を憎や穀仕る買締
て有おもい簗池（ヤナイケ）られて餘多の口を鍵
懸や可愛（カアイ）子供や女房も皆々置去西馬
流や此世に地ごくもがまどふも有とはう

堂にまろびふし是も前世の五加新田母を
尋て稚子の馬越まわりて啼さけぶ子
捨る薮は大石共身捨ゟ薮は無世にて
現代語訳
ここの栗原、楢原もあちこちと北相木・南相木を探し尽くして、三河が狭いので馬越を回って落合へ、ここの川端下、梓山、秋山といった豊かな山里にも人家は見えないので、悲しい思いをした。大深山では原住民が一口の食べ物もくれと頼む人がいるが、施しを請う人の数が多い。檜沢や川平、広瀬でも世の中が窮屈になり、野山を越えて行くうちに、足板橋でも食べ物はすべて埋め尽くされてしまった。海口では座りきれないほどで、海尻では稲も稗も枯れ果てて松原となってしまった。
福山を憎む者が穀物を買い占めて蓄えているのを恨めしく思い、簗池では多くの人の口に鍵をかけるような有様だ。可愛い子供や女房もみな置き去りにして西馬流へ、この世に地獄もあるのかと当惑するが、それが真実なのか嘘なのか。本馬川、本間でもここ宮の下、あちこちの堂にころがり伏している。これも前世の業か。五加新田では母を尋ねて幼子が馬越を回って泣き叫び、子を捨てる藪は大石、身を捨てる藪は無情な世の中である。
英語訳
Here at Kurihara and Narahara, they searched everywhere through Kitaaiki and Minamiaiki, and since Mikawa was narrow, they went around through Umagoshi to Ochiai. At the riverside below, and in the wealthy mountain villages of Azusayama and Akiyama, no houses could be seen, which was a sorrowful sight. In the deep mountains, local people begged for even a mouthful of food, but there were too many people seeking charity. Even in Hinokizawa, Kawahira, and Hirose, the world had become constrained, and as they crossed over the mountains and fields, all the food at Ashiita Bridge had been completely buried. At Kaiguchi, there was no room to sit, and at Kaijiri, both rice and millet had withered away, turning into pine groves.
They resented those in Fukuyama who hoarded grain by buying it up, and at Yanaike, it was as if many mouths were locked shut. Beloved children and wives were all left behind as people fled to Nishiumanagare. They wondered if hell existed in this world, but whether this was true or false remained unclear. At Honmagawa and Honma, here at Miyanoshita and various temples, people lay collapsed. This too must be the result of past karma. At Gokashinden, young children wandered around Umagoshi crying and screaming in search of their mothers. The thickets where children were abandoned became Oishi, and the thickets where people abandoned themselves became part of this merciless world.
