| Therefore, we can also understand that this "kimi" does not mean any specific individual person, but this waka was included as an anthem to celebrate the longevity of the reigning lord (the emperor at the time of Kokin-Wakashu) and was dedicated to his reign. |
したがって、この「君」は特定の個人をさすものではなく、治世の君（古今和歌集の時代においては帝）の長寿を祝し、その御世によせる賛歌として収録されたものとも考えられる。 |
