Commentary: Book Ten Kagura Songs 615

Headnote: "Fūzoku songs for the Great Thanksgiving Festival of the first year of Tenroku: the village of Yoshida"
The poem says that since this is a staff from the famed village of Yoshida, however much it is leaned upon, the sovereign's ten thousand ages will never run out. Pivoting on "tsuku," to lean on a staff and to be exhausted, it celebrates the eternity of the reign through a staff that brings long life. Following the preceding poem, 614, it takes a village as its topic.
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, written as "Kanemori," is Taira no Kanemori. A son of Prince Atsuyuki, of the line of Emperor Kōkō, he left the imperial family and took the name Taira. He is counted among the Thirty-Six Immortal Poets and is known for his poem "shinoburedo" in the Hyakunin Isshu, with which he competed against Mibu no Tadami at the Tentoku Palace Poetry Contest.

First line, "na ni tateru," means "famed," with "ru" the attributive form of the auxiliary "ri" of continuing state.
Second line, "Yoshida no sato no," means "of the village of Yoshida," the place name given as the topic. It shares the word "sato" with the fourth line of the preceding poem, 614, "sato tanomoshiku."
Third line, "tsue nareba," means "since it is a staff," with "ba" after the perfective form expressing cause. It shares with the final line of 580, "kireru tsue nari," the theme of a staff that brings long life.
Fourth line, "tsuku tomo tsukiji," is a pivot word: "tsuku" means to "lean on" a staff and to "be exhausted," meaning "however much it is leaned on, it will not run out," with "ji" an auxiliary of negative conjecture.
Final line, "kimi ga yorozuyo," means "our sovereign's ten thousand ages," ending on a noun.
