Commentary: Book Sixteen Miscellaneous Poems I 972

Headnote: "Sent to a lady-in-waiting when I attended Jōsaimon'in, then called the Kamo Priestess, on the purification she performed at Karasaki after being replaced"
When Jōsaimon'in, Princess Muneko, stepped down as Kamo Priestess and performed a purification at Karasaki in Ōmi, the author attended her and sent this poem to a lady-in-waiting. The purification held until yesterday in the Mitarashi River has turned today into the waves of Shiga's shore, he says. Overlaying the move of the rite from the Mitarashi River of Kamo to Karasaki in Shiga with the change in the fortunes of one who has left the office of priestess, he fills the poem with deep feeling.
The author, the "Former Chancellor of Hachijō," is Fujiwara no Saneyuki. A son of Fujiwara no Kinzane, he founded the Sanjō house and rose to chancellor. He was called the Chancellor of Hachijō.
The next poem, 973, also sings of the purification at Karasaki after the priestess stepped down, sharing the words "Mitarashi" and "Shiga" and forming a pair with this one.

First line, "kinō made": "until yesterday," while she held the office of priestess.
Second line, "Mitarashigawa ni": the Mitarashi River flowing through the grounds of the Kamo Shrine, the place of the priestess's purification. It answers "Mitarashi ya" in the first line of the next poem, 973.
Third line, "seshi misogi": "shi" is the attributive of the past auxiliary "ki," "the purification that was performed." The poem pauses here.
Fourth line, "Shiga no uranami": the waves of Shiga's shore on the western side of Lake Biwa, where Karasaki lies. It answers "Shiga no namiji ni" in the fourth line of the next poem.
Fifth line, "tachi zo kawareru": "tachi" overlaps the rising of the waves; "zo" is an emphatic binding particle closing with "ru," the attributive of the continuative "ri," "all has changed."
