SKKS XIX: 1901

On the junior shrine, among poems presented to Hiyoshi Shrine.

やはらぐるかげぞふもとにくもりなきもとの光はみねにすめども

yawaraguru
kage zo fumoto ni
kumori naki
moto no hikari wa
mine ni sumedomo
The gentle
Light from the foothills
Is unceasing;
The glow from below–the source of all–
Is clear upon the peak–makes His dwelling there.

Former Abbot Jien
