Commentary: Book Ten Poems of Celebration 625

Headnote: "A poem of celebration, composed when she wrote a hundred-poem sequence"
A poem of celebration from a hundred-poem sequence. Unshakably, she says, for ten thousand ages more, we shall rely on the shade of the pine on the peak of Mount Hakoya. Mount Hakoya is a mountain of immortals found in the Chinese Zhuangzi, and by extension the palace of a retired emperor. Looking up to the retired emperor's palace as the shade of an evergreen pine on the mountain of ageless immortals, she celebrates his long life and protection.
The author, "Princess Shokushi," was a daughter of Emperor Go-Shirakawa. As a young woman she served as the Kamo Priestess, and she studied poetry with Fujiwara no Shunzei. She is one of the representative women poets of the Shin Kokinshū age and has a poem in the Ogura Hyakunin Isshu.
The next poem, 626, also sings of Mount Hakoya, so that two poems celebrating the eternity of the retired emperor's palace stand side by side.

First line, "ugokinaku": "unshakably." It shares its wording with "ugokinaki" in the third line of 614 of this book.
Second line, "nao yorozuyo zo": "nao" means "still, from now on." The emphatic "zo" closes with the attributive "beki" in the third line.
Third line, "tanomu beki": "beki," the attributive of "beshi" expressing what is fitting, closes the "zo" of the second line. The poem pauses here and stands in inverted order with the lines that follow.
Fourth line, "Hakoya no yama no": Mount Hakoya, a mountain of immortals in the Zhuangzi, became another name for the palace of a retired emperor. It is the same as the fourth line of the next poem, 626.
Fifth line, "mine no matsukage": "the shade of the pine on the peak," a figure for the retired emperor's protection, ending on a noun. It is the reverse of 629, where the pine relies on my lord's shade.
