„Even the blossoming flowers [Colors are fragrant, but they]
Will eventually scatter
Who in our world
Shall always be?
The deep mountains of karma—
We cross them today
And we shall not have superficial dreams
Nor be deluded.“
„An English translation by Professor Ryuichi Abe<...> reads as:
Although its scent still lingers on
the form of a flower has scattered away
For whom will the glory
of this world remain unchanged?
Arriving today at the yonder side
of the deep mountains of evanescent existence
We shall never allow ourselves to drift away
intoxicated, in the world of shallow dreams.“
„Komatsu Hideo has revealed that the last mora of each line of the Man’yō-gana original (止加那久天之須), when put together, reveals a hidden sentence, toka [=toga] nakute shisu (咎無くて死す), which means “to die without wrong-doing”. It is thought that this might be a eulogy in praise of Kūkai, further supporting the notion that the Iroha was written after Kūkai’s death.“

„As flowers are brilliant but [inevitably] fall,
who could remain constant in our world? [No one could]
Today let us transcend the high mountain of transience,
and there will be no more shallow dreaming, no more drunkenness.“
