| Although he had been a hunter in early adulthood, one day after shooting dead a stag that he came across when hunting, he saw a fawn appear out of the blood spurting from the animal's wound, and made up his mind to become a Buddhist monk. |
壮年の時には狩人であったが、ある日山で牡鹿を見つけ射止めたところ、その傷口から血潮と共に仔鹿が生れたのを見て発心し仏門に入ったという。 |
