4.27

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。借得華嚴傳五卷。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。表誂當寺下野公瞻惠令書寫之。假名并姓誂同宿大夫之慶實令付之。裏書者。主同年四月二十五日（酉時）於東大寺尊勝院新學問所手自書寫之畢。及老耄之間雖眼腫手振。猶勵拾螢之勤。懇記飛鳥之路耳。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。

In the middle ten days of the first month of the twelfth year of Bun'ei (yihai), while temporarily staying at Mount Toganoo's Kōzan-ji to attend thirty lectures on the Wujiao zhang, I borrowed the five-fascicle Transmission of the Avataṃsaka from the hand of Benqing of the E'nichibō, an inhabitant of that monastery. While adding reading marks to the text, in the excess of my heartfelt joy, after returning south to Nanto, I commissioned those skilled in calligraphy to copy it out. Within this transmission, as for the present fascicle: the front text was commissioned to be copied by Chōkei of the Shimotsuke clan of this monastery; the kana and surnames were commissioned to be added by his fellow resident, the Grandee Keijitsu. As for the text on the reverse (uragaki): I myself personally finished copying it on the twenty-fifth day of the fourth month of the same year (at the hour of the rooster) at the New Academic Cloister of Sonshō-in in Tōdai-ji. Reaching decrepit old age, though my eyes are swollen and my hands tremble, I still exerted the diligence of gathering fireflies and earnestly recorded this path of flying birds. These kana, surnames, and the text on the reverse were recorded by the Tsuchimikado Major Counselor who became a lay monk (Lord Akitada). I have now copied them using the very text marked in that Zen practitioner's own hand; it may serve as an peerless witness text.
