24. This trip, the scene of maple leaves is so beautiful that I can't offer nusa(=offerings to God). Please receive the splendor of colored maple leaves on Mt. Tamuke as God likes.

22. Plants in autumn wither as soon as the wind blows from mountains.
Oh, I see, that's why we call the wind from mountains "storm" probably.

20. It is same to be annoyed like this as to ruin myself. I want to see you now even if it consumes me, like the word "miotsukushi" in Naniwa.
