Roma-ji: Yorozuyo o akirakeku mimu Kagamiyama chitose no hodo wa chiri mo kumoraji
English Translation: Ten thousand ages
it will see clear and bright,
Mirror Mountain;
for a thousand years at least,
no dust shall dim its glass.
Meaning: Mirror Mountain will see clearly through ten thousand ages; for a thousand years, not a speck of dust shall cloud it.
Commentary: Book Ten Kagura Songs 613

Headnote: "Fūzoku songs for the Great Thanksgiving Festival of the first year of Tenroku: Mirror Mountain"
The poem says that Mirror Mountain, which will see clearly through ten thousand ages, will not be clouded by dust for a thousand years. From the "mirror" in the place name it calls up a mirror without a cloud and celebrates a bright, pure reign that will long endure. Poem 606, for the festival of the first year of Anna, also takes Mirror Mountain as its topic and sings of a reign without a cloud, so the same device is handed on across the two festivals.
The headnote, "Fūzoku songs for the Great Thanksgiving Festival of the first year of Tenroku," shows that the poem was offered at the Great Thanksgiving Festival held in the first year of Tenroku upon the accession of Emperor En'yū. From here to 617, as in the earlier sequence of the first year of Anna, poems on place names follow, and some of the same names are sung at both festivals.
The author, Nakatsukasa, was the daughter of Prince Atsuyoshi, a son of Emperor Uda, and the poet Ise. She is counted among the Thirty-Six Immortal Poets.

First line, "yorozuyo o," means "through ten thousand ages."
Second line, "akirakeku mimu," means "will see clearly," with "mu" conjectural, speaking of the clear brightness of a mirror.
Third line, "Kagamiyama," is Mirror Mountain in Ōmi Province, the place name given as the topic. It is the same mountain as the third line of 606, "Kagamiyama."
Fourth line, "chitose no hodo wa," means "for a thousand years."
Final line, "chiri mo kumoraji," means "not even dust will cloud it," with "ji" an auxiliary of negative conjecture. It answers the fourth line of 606, "kumori naki yo ni."
