The illustration of the talk of “爾時無尽意菩薩即従座起(nijimujinni-bosatu-jyuzaki)” is drawn.
The title written to the illustration is “仲光(nakamitu) It is loyal Fig. “.
The free translation of the portion of an illustration is as follows.
“The reason at the time of 美女丸 (bijyomaru : at the child of 源満仲(minamoto-no-Mitsunaka), he is a rowdy) reforming itself.
The child of Imperial Prince Sadazumi, Emperor Seiwa’s sixth Imperial prince, was called 六孫王経 (源経基:minamoto-no-tunemoto), and the legitimate son is 左馬権頭満仲公 (sama-no-gon-no-kasira-mitunaka-kou):next Minamoto-no-Mitsunaka), and was in 摂州(settusyuu) Tada’s castle.
At this time, he declared himselves the Tada-no-Manjyu-kou .
This Mitsunaka had four children.
He is 満茂(mitusige) about the first child.
It is 頼光(raikou) about the second child.
It is 頼親(yoritika) about the third child.
The fourth child is called Bijyomaru.
Mitsunaka believed in the Goddess of Mercy deeply, he tried to make one Nakano of four children forsake the world, and tried to make the Goddess of Mercy served.
The youngest child’s Bijyomaru will be deposited with 善観和尚(zenkan-osyou) of Nakayama-dera of Settsyuu.
However, a beauty circle dislikes an ordination into priesthood, and does not study Buddhism, but only serves it freely willfully.
Hiroshi Mitsunaka’s anger will be touched on at last, and Fujiwara Nakamitu, a subject, will be ordered “To take the head of Bijyomaru.”
Although Nakamitu advised repeatedly, refusal leaves without the ability to do.
However, it was unbearable to have shot the Lord, and after worrying, it eliminated the head for the Koujyumaru which is its child as a substitute of a beauty circle.
Depending for Eshin Sozu’s secretly simultaneously, bijyomaru reformed itself and became Eshin Sozu’s pupil.
Behind, it became a famous priest. ”
It was the heavy talk with which parental affection and conscience became it entangled that it was loyal.
There is help of some that a rowdy finally reforms himself.
It is a sad talk which worries about an extreme command of the Lord and applies an important person to a hand.
The situation of the illustration was a figure of the parents who cut off their child’s head …
「爾時無尽意菩薩即従座起」という部分に関する挿絵が描かれています。挿絵に書かれたタイトルは「仲光忠義の図」です。挿絵の部分の意訳は以下のとおり。
「美女丸（びじょまる：源満仲の子供で、大層な乱暴者）が心入れ替えた際の理由。
清和天皇の第六皇子の貞純親王の御子を六孫王経基（源経基）といい、その嫡男が左馬権頭満仲公（後の源満仲）であり、摂州多田の城に居た。この時に、多田満仲公（ただのまんじゅこう）と名乗った。この満仲公には四人の子供がいた。第一子は猶子（養子に似た形）の満茂。第二子を頼光。第三子を頼親。第四子を美女丸という。満仲公は観世音を深く信仰していて、４人の子供の中野１人を出家させ観世音に仕えさせようとした。末っ子の美女丸を摂州の中山寺の善観和尚の元へ預けることにする。しかし、美女丸は出家を嫌い、仏教を学ばず、勝手気ままに振る舞ってばかり。ついに満仲公の怒りにふれ、臣下の藤原仲光に「美女丸の首を取れ」と命じてしまう。仲光は何度も何度も諫めたが、拒否はできずに出立する。しかし、主君を討つのは忍びなく、悩んだ末に自分の子供である幸寿丸を美女丸の身代わりとして、首をはねました。同時に、密かに恵心僧都のを頼り、美女丸は改心して恵心僧都の弟子となりました。後に、名高い僧侶となりました。」
忠義と親心と良心が絡み合った、重いお話でした。最終的に乱暴者が改心するという多少の救いはあります。ですが、主君の極端な命令に悩み、大切な人を手にかける悲しい話です。挿絵の状況は、自分の子供の首を切り落とした親の姿でした…。
