Roma-ji: Ōyodo no misogi ikuyo ni narinuran kamisabinitaru ura no himematsu
English Translation: The purifying rites
at Ōyodo: how many ages
have they now passed through?
Grown so hallowed, aged with years,
you slender pines along the bay.
Meaning: How many ages have passed since the purification rites began at Ōyodo? The slender pines of the bay have grown so hallowed with age.
Commentary: Book Ten Kagura Songs 594

Headnote: "For a sliding screen in the house of Lord Kōtoku"
The poem wonders how many ages the purification rites at the bay of Ōyodo have passed through, while the slender pines of the bay have grown hallowed with age. The headnote shows it was written for a screen painting in the house of Lord Kōtoku, Fujiwara no Tamemitsu. Portraying the pines of the bay of Ōyodo in Ise, where the Ise Priestess performed purification, it senses the long history of the rite in their aged look. Following the shrine pines through 591, it sings of a pine at a place of sacred rites.
The author, Minamoto no Kanezumi, was an official and poet of the mid-Heian period. Lord Kōtoku is Fujiwara no Tamemitsu, a son of Fujiwara no Morosuke, who rose to Chancellor.

First line, "Ōyodo no," means "of Ōyodo" in Ise Province, the bay where the Ise Priestess performed purification.
Second line, "misogi ikuyo ni," means "the purification, how many ages." It shares the word "misogi" with the first line of the next poem, 595, "misogi suru."
Third line, "narinuran," means "has it become," with "nu" perfective and "ran" conjectural. The poem breaks after this third line.
Fourth line, "kamisabinitaru," means "grown utterly hallowed with age," with "kamisabu" meaning to become venerable and ancient.
Final line, "ura no himematsu," means "the slender pines of the bay," ending on a noun.
