His Majesty composed this as a poem on Shintō, when he ordered the production of a hundred poem sequence.

みちのべのちりに光をやはらげて神もほとけのなのるなりけり

michi no e no chiri ni hikari o yawaragete kami mo hotoke no nanoru narikeri

Among the roadside Dust His light A’dimming, As a God, the Buddha Gives His name.

Emperor Sutoku
