how much more, I wonder,
must the heart within you now
be cool and clear as well.
Meaning: Like the wind blowing over the shore of Shiga by the rippling waves, how cool and clear the heart within you must be now.
Commentary: Book Twenty Lament Poems 1336

Headnote: "Sent on hearing that Lesser Counselor Fujiwara no Munemasa, with whom he had long been close, had taken vows at Shiga"
The poet says that, like the shore wind of Shiga by the rippling waves, how cool the heart within must be. The headnote shows it was sent on hearing that Lesser Counselor Fujiwara no Munemasa, with whom he had long been bound in friendship, had taken vows at Shiga. Laying the freshness of a friend's heart freed from worldly delusion over the coolness of the wind crossing the lake at Shiga, he praises his friend for taking vows while letting his own feelings, left behind, show through. Following the preceding poem, 1335, it is another of Kintō's poems on an acquaintance taking vows.
The author, written as "Commander of the Right Gate Guards Kintō," is Fujiwara no Kintō. A son of the Regent Fujiwara no Yoritada, he rose to Provisional Major Counselor. He compiled the Wakan Rōeishū and is said to have compiled the Shūishō. He is known for his poem "taki no oto wa" in the Hyakunin Isshu.
The final line of the main text reads "源しかるらん," which does not match "suzushikaruramu" in the reading line. Taking it as a miswriting of "涼," cool, the reading line is followed. "Munemasa" in the headnote, written "統埋," is also taken as a miswriting of "統理" and corrected.

First line, "sasanami ya," is a pillow word for Shiga in Ōmi. It leads to the same Shiga as the first line of 1315 in this book, "sasanami no."
Second line, "Shiga no urakaze," means "the wind on the shore of Shiga," the place where Munemasa took vows.
Third line, "ikabakari," means "how much."
Fourth line, "kokoro no uchi no," means "the heart within," the heart of Munemasa, who has taken vows.
Final line, "suzushikaruran," means "must be cool," laying a heart clear of delusion over the coolness of the shore wind, with "ran" the auxiliary of present conjecture.
