Commentary
Miscellaneous Poems 889

Headnote continued from the preceding poem: "The chapter on the Life Span of the Tathāgata"
Again on the chapter on the Life Span. The moon of the enlightened heart appears, and the Buddha dwells still on the high Vulture Peak, shining clear, the poet says. Answering the preceding poem, which called it delusion to think the moon had set, he says that to the enlightened heart the Buddha's moon is always visible.

First line, “satori eshi”: having attained enlightenment.
Second line, “kokoro no tsuki no”: kokoro no tsuki is the enlightened mind likened to the moon.
Third line, “arawarete”: appearing.
Fourth line, “washi no takane ni”: on the high peak of the Vulture, taking up 'washi no yama.'
Fifth line, “sumu ni zo arikeru”: sumu is a pivot word joining dwelling and shining clear; zo is answered by the attributive keru.
