Roma-ji: Tsuyu dani mo na tataru yado no kiku naraba hana no aruji ya ikuyo naruran
English Translation: If even the dew
on the chrysanthemums is famed
at your house,
then for how many lifetimes
will the mistress of the flowers live
Meaning: If even the dew of the chrysanthemums is famed at your house, how many lifetimes must the mistress of those flowers live?
Commentary: Book Seven Autumn Poems III 395

Headnote: "Reply."
He replies that if even the dew is that of chrysanthemums at a famous house, how many ages must their mistress live. Returning her wish for long life, it praises the renowned Ise herself.
It forms an exchange with the preceding poem, 394. Where that poem wished him long life, this one wishes long life to Ise, mistress of the flowers.
The poet, Fujiwara no Masatada, was a son of Fujiwara no Kanesuke and served as governor of Suō, among other posts. Murasaki Shikibu's father, Fujiwara no Tametoki, was his son, so Masatada was Murasaki Shikibu's grandfather.

In the first line, "dani" means "even": "even the dew."
The second line, "na tataru yado no," means "of the house of renown," answering with the same words as the fourth line of the preceding poem.
The third line, "kiku naraba," means "if they are chrysanthemums."
In the fourth line, "aruji" refers to Ise as the owner of the chrysanthemums, and "ya" is an interrogative particle.
The last line, "ikuyo naruran," means "how many ages will she live," with "ya" in the fourth line and the attributive "ran" forming a kakarimusubi pattern.
