望月宿のあたりから見ると、煙の色は雪のように白く、白雲のように
空へ向かって一面に立ち覆い、稲妻のように夥しく
見えました。同日の未刻（午後二時頃）に鎮まり、朔日（一日）の未刻からまた
噴火し始め、鳴動はさらに強くなり、追分宿あたりの弱い小屋などは
揺れ崩れ、大きな家も崩れるかと、人々はあわて騒ぎ、泣いて
悲しんでいるうちに、酉刻（午後六時頃）にまた鎮まりました。朔日の夜に追分
宿に泊まっていた者から承ったところでは、その後夜に入り朝になるまで毎日噴火し、
大笹という所では手毬ほどの大きさの石が降り、小田井
宿・大笹あたりでは獅子や狼が群れをなして出てきて人馬を食らうので、
猟師が鉄砲で打ち取ったものの、数が多いので退散できなかった
ということです。また近隣の十五、六里から二十里ほどの範囲について
聞き合わせたところ、灰が降ったことは五、六寸から八、九寸ほども降った
地域もあったということを承りました。

At a place called Ozasa, stones the size of temari balls rained down, and around Odai post town and Ozasa, lions and wolves gathered in packs and attacked people and horses. Though hunters shot at them with firearms, their numbers were so great that they could not be driven away. Furthermore, upon inquiring about the surrounding regions within fifteen to sixteen ri, or even twenty ri, we learned that ash fell to depths of five to six sun, and in some areas as much as eight to nine sun.
