Kokoro o shi mugau no sato ni okite araba hakoya no yama o mimaku chikakemu

心をし無何有の郷に置きてあらば
藐孤射の山を見まく近けむ

Roma-ji: Kokoro o shi mugau no sato ni okite araba hakoya no yama o mimaku chikakemu
English Translation: If I set my heart
in the land of Nothing-at-All,
and leave it dwelling there,
the mountain of Hakoya
would soon be in my sight.
Meaning: If I could rest my heart in the Village of Nothing-at-All, I would soon come to see the mountain of Hakoya where the immortals dwell.

Headnote: none; the left note reads: "The above is one poem."
The poet says that if the heart rests in the Village of Nothing-at-All, free of all attachment, the mountain of Hakoya where immortals live is not far off. It is a rare poem in the Man'yōshū that brings the thought of Zhuangzi into waka.
The Village of Nothing-at-All and Mount Gushe (Hakoya) both appear in the "Free and Easy Wandering" chapter of the Zhuangzi. Following two poems on Buddhist impermanence, this one turns to an ideal realm drawn from Daoist thought.
The poet is not recorded.

First line, "kokoro o shi," means "the heart." The emphatic shi shows that the state of the heart is the matter at hand.
Second line, "mugau no sato ni," means "in the Village of Nothing-at-All," a term from the Zhuangzi taken into waka in its Sino-Japanese reading.
Third line, "okite araba," means "if I set it there." Hypermetric at six syllables, it states the condition.
Fourth line, "hakoya no yama o," means "the mountain of Hakoya," another Zhuangzi term that pairs with the second line.
Final line, "mimaku chikakemu," means "would be near to see." Mimaku is the nominalized form of mimu, and the conjectural mu concludes on the nearness of the ideal. Where the two preceding poems yearn for a far-off realm, this one says it draws near through the heart alone.
