1 Tale of Omna-Sam-no-Miya A new statue of Buddha service [1-1 A preparation for a new statue of Buddha service]
Natu goro, hatisu no hana no sakari ni, Nihudau-no-Himemiya no ohom-dibutu-domo arahasi tamahe ru, kuyau-ze sase tamahu.
Kono-tabi ha, Otodo-no-Kimi no mi-kokorozasi ni te, go-nenzu-dau no gu-domo, komaka ni totonohe sase tamahe ru wo, yagate siturahase tamahu. Hata no sama nado natukasiu, kokoro koto naru Kara no nisiki wo erabi nuha se tamahe ri. Murasaki-no-Uhe zo, isogi se sase tamahi keru.
Hana-dukuwe no ohohi nado no wokasiki me-zome mo natukasiu, kiyora naru nihohi, some-tuke rare taru kokorobahe, me nare nu sama nari. Yoru no mi-tyau no katabira wo, yo-omote nagara age te, usiro no kata ni Hoke no mandara kake tatematuri te, sirogane no hana game ni, takaku koto-kotosiki hana no iro wo totonohe te tatematuri, myaugau ni, Kara no hyakubu no kunoe-kau wo taki tamahe ri.

Aka no gu ha, rei no, kihayaka ni tihisaku te, awoki, siroki, murasaki no hatisu wo totonohe te, kaehu no hau wo ahase taru myaugau, miti wo kakusi hohoroge te, taki nihohasi taru, hitotu kawori ni nihohi-ahi te, ito natukasi.
Kyau ha, roku-dau no syuzyau no tame ni roku-bu kaka se tamahi te, midukara no ohom-dikyau ha, Win zo ohom-tedukara kaka se tamahi keru. Kore wo dani, kono yo no ketien ni te, katami ni mitibiki kahasi tamahu beki kokoro wo, gwanmon ni tukura se tamahe ri.
