| At a temple in the nearby mountain, there was an Ajari (high rank of priest), who was very studious and respected by everyone, but when he brought back a servant boy with him from Koshi, where he had administered the vows at an initiation ceremony, he came to favor the boy. |
近くの山に寺があって、そこの阿闍梨は篤学のすばらしい僧で尊敬をあつめていたが、灌頂の戒師をつとめた越の国から一緒に連れ帰った稚児に迷い、これを寵愛するようになった。 |
