Commentary: Book Twenty Shinto Poems 1267

Headnote: "Written on something when I was in attendance on a secret royal visit to the hot springs of Arima, and heard that the god of the springs was called the god of Miwa"
Attending a retired emperor on a secret visit to the hot springs of Arima, he heard that the god of the springs was called the god of Miwa, and wrote this poem on something at hand. If this is the god of Miwa who has seen so rare a royal visit, these must be the hot springs of Arima that bring blessings, he says. Hearing that the god of the springs is the god of Miwa, he celebrates, through plays on the place names, the certain healing power of springs blessed by a god who has received so rare a visit.
The author, "Inspector Sukekata," is Minamoto no Sukekata. A son of Minamoto no Arikata of the Uda Genji, he served as inspector and rose to provisional major counselor. He excelled at imayō and other song forms and served Retired Emperor Go-Shirakawa as a close attendant.
1269 in this book also sings of the god of Miwa, and this poem's "shirushi" answers that poem's "kami no shirushi."

First line, "mezurashiku": "rarely," modifying the royal visit of the second line.
Second line, "miyuki o Miwa no": "miwa" plays on "mi," to see the royal visit, and Miwa, the name of the god.
Third line, "kami naraba": "if it is the god."
Fourth line, "shirushi Arima no": "arima" plays on "ari," there is, and the place name Arima. "Shirushi" is the god's wondrous power, the same word as in "kami no shirushi wa" in the fourth line of 1269 in this book.
Fifth line, "ideyu narubeshi": "ideyu" is a hot spring, and "beshi" is the conjectural auxiliary.
