華嚴經傳記 3.14

3.14

文永十二年（乙亥）正月中旬之候。為聽聞五教章三十講。暫栖息栂尾高山寺之處。自彼寺住侶惠日房辨清之手。借得華嚴經五卷。點本之間。喜悅銘肝之餘。下向南都之後。誂能書之輩令書寫。此傳之內。當卷者。表誂中川淨覺房朝酉。裏誂春日山麓四恩院願忍房覺玄。令書寫之。彼院家院主如圓房朝海令付假名并指姓畢。此假名姓裏書者。土御門大納言入道顯定卿之所記錄也。即以彼禪門自筆之點本寫之。可為無雙之證本也而已。

In the middle of the first month of the twelfth year of Bun'ei (wood-boar, 1275), while staying temporarily at Kōzan-ji in Togano'o to listen to the thirty lectures on the Treatise on the Five Teachings (Wujiaozhang), I borrowed five fascicles of the punctuated text of the Avataṃsaka Sūtra [Biography] from the hands of the resident monk of that monastery, Nichibō Benshō. Filled with joy engraved upon my heart, after going down to the Southern Capital, I commissioned skilled scribes to copy it. Within these biographies, as for the present fascicle: for the front text, I commissioned Chō'yu of Jōkakubō in Nakagawa; for the back text, I commissioned Kakugen of Gan'ninbō at Shion'in at the foot of Mount Kasuga to copy it. The director of that cloister, Nyōenbo Chōkai, had already added kana and indicated surnames. These notes on kana and surnames on the reverse were recorded by Lord Akitada, the Lay Monk and Provisional Major Counselor of Tsuchimikado. Copying it directly from that Zen layman's own punctuated manuscript, this may serve as an peerless authoritative exemplar, nothing more.
