北の御かたもろともに判官の御跡をとむらい
申さん印に九十九たいのこかねの佛を作りせ給ふ
扨清見か関に御越し有りしやけん長者の跡
をたやし判官のからとむらいなされ八万八千
のそとはをたて六万三百八十四たいのこかねを供
養して善根中〻申斗なし本より
弥陀の御本願地成仏有ルこそ有かたけれ
一門けんそく迄神となり衆生を守らん
との御ちかいにて太夫とのの三月
三日に御祭是を三月會と申国主は惣社大明

現代語訳
北の方も共に判官の御霊を弔い申し上げようと、九十九体の黄金の仏を作らせなさった。そして清見関にお越しになり、社軒長者の跡を訪ね、判官の遺体を弔いなされ、八万八千の卒塔婆を立て、六万三百八十四体の黄金仏を供養して、善根を積むこと言葉では言い尽くせない。もとより阿弥陀の本願により成仏されることは有り難いことである。一門眷属まで神となり衆生を守ろうとの御誓いにて、太夫殿の三月三日に御祭がある。これを三月会と申す。国主は惣社大明神となり、北の方は浅間大菩薩と現れなさる。これは木花咲耶姫の御縁起とかや。姫君は山宮の神となり、毎年四月の初申、九月十五日、十一月の初申、総じて一年に四十五度の御祭がある。さて姫君が十三歳まで御養育なされた四万長者夫婦も御登山なされ、三保の浦に千年の松を植えさせ、五社の大明神となりなさった。また下野の五万長者夫婦も登らせなさり、親子の名乗りを
英語訳
The Lady of the North (Kita no Kata) also wished to pray for the soul of the magistrate, and had ninety-nine golden Buddha statues made. Then she went to Kiyomi Barrier, visited the site of Shaken Chōja's residence, held memorial services for the magistrate's body, erected 88,000 stupas, and made offerings of 60,384 golden Buddha statues, accumulating good deeds beyond description. Originally, through Amida's original vow, their attainment of Buddhahood was truly blessed. With the vow that the entire clan and retainers would become gods to protect sentient beings, there is a festival on March 3rd for Lord Dayū. This is called the March Assembly. The lord became the Great Deity of the Main Shrine, and the Lady of the North manifested as Asama Daibosatsu. This is said to be connected to the legend of Princess Konohana-sakuya-hime. The princess became the deity of Yamagu Shrine, and there are festivals every year on the first Day of the Monkey in April, September 15th, and the first Day of the Monkey in November—a total of forty-five festivals per year. The Yoman Chōja couple, who had raised the princess until she was thirteen, also ascended the mountain, planted thousand-year pines at Miho Bay, and became the Five Great Deities. Also, the Goman Chōja couple from Shimotsuke ascended as well, and the parent-child relationship was revealed.
