Hisakata no amagumo aeri katsuragi ya takama no yama wa miyuki fururashi

久方の天雲あへり葛城や
高間の山はみ雪降るらし

Roma-ji: Hisakata no amagumo aeri katsuragi ya takama no yama wa miyuki fururashi
English Translation: In the far-off heavens
the clouds of the sky have gathered;
on Katsuragi,
on the mountain of Takama,
the snow must be falling now.
Meaning: The clouds of heaven have gathered together; on Mount Takama in Katsuragi, snow must be falling.
Commentary: Winter Poems 368

Headnote continued from the preceding poem: "Snow"
Seeing the clouds of the sky gathered together, the poet surmises that snow must be falling on Mount Takama in Katsuragi. From the movement of the clouds he imagines snow on a distant mountain, singing in an archaic, Man'yō-like tone.
The Ruijū text places this poem among the "poems found in other manuscripts and printed editions." Kamo no Mabuchi marked it with a circle.

Line 1, hisakata no, is a pillow word for "heaven."
Line 2 means "the clouds of heaven have gathered," ri being the continuative auxiliary; the poem pauses here.
Line 3 names Mount Katsuragi on the border of Yamato and Kawachi, with ya an exclamatory particle. Poem 401 opens with the same words.
Line 4 names the main peak of the Katsuragi range.
Line 5 is the same as the last line of 362, ending with rashi, a conjecture based on evidence.
