現代語訳
位を捨てて僧となり、弘法大師の弟子となって、名を真如と改めた。天皇は御弟である大伴親王を立てて皇太子とした。御娘の有智子内親王を賀茂の斎院とし、伊勢の斎宮に准じた。これが斎院の始まりである。この内親王は才芸に優れて、よく詩を作られた。
（弘仁）二年正月、渤海の使者が来朝した。五月、大納言右大将田村麻呂が逝去した。天皇は甚だお惜しみになって、絹布や米などを多く賜って、宇治郡来栖村に葬らせた。勅詔により、甲冑・剣・鉾・弓矢を棺の内に入れて、王城の方へ東向きに立てて土葬した。この人は器量・骨柄が並々でなく、身長五尺八寸、胸板の厚さ一尺二寸、眼は鷹のごとく、鬚は金緑色のようであった。怒る時は鳥獣も恐れかしこまり、戯れ笑う時は子供や女性もなつき慕った。死去したとき五十四歳であった。十一月、奥州の蝦夷が反乱を起こした。文室綿麻呂を

This Imperial Princess excelled in literary arts and was skilled at composing poetry.
In the second year (of Kōnin era), in the first month, an envoy from Bohai arrived. In the fifth month, Major Counselor and General of the Right Tamura-maro passed away. The Emperor deeply mourned his death and bestowed much silk cloth, rice, and other goods, having him buried in Kurusu village in Uji district. By imperial edict, armor, swords, spears, and bows and arrows were placed in the coffin, and he was buried facing east toward the imperial capital. This man's physical bearing and character were extraordinary - he was five shaku and eight sun tall, with a chest thickness of one shaku and two sun. His eyes were like those of a hawk, and his beard was golden-green in color. When angry, even birds and beasts would cower in fear; when jesting and laughing, even children and women would become attached to him. He was fifty-four years old when he died. In the eleventh month, the Emishi of Ōshū rebelled. Bunnya no Watamaro was...
