立正安国論

文応元年7月

(1260年)
通解(意訳)
古事に「鳩化して鷹となり、雀(福良雀という、雀(すずめ)の形のような貝)が変じて蛤(はまぐり)となる」とあるように、人は善き友(善知識)と交わることで、より善い人間になることができる。
悦ばしいことに、あなたは蘭室の友(蘭の香りのように人徳の薫り高い人)に交わって感化されて、蓬(よもぎ)のように曲がりがちな性格が、真っ直ぐに育つ麻畑の中に蓬が交わって正されたように、素直で真っ直ぐな性格になれた。

English Gosho
The dove has changed into a hawk, the sparrow into a clam.
How gratifying!
You have associated with a friend in the orchid room and have become as straight as mugwort growing among hemp.

Interpretation (liberal translation) 
You were inspired by crossing a friend in the Orchid's breeding room (a person with high virtue like the scent of orchids).
And as your character who was prone to bend like a wormwood was crossed and straightened in the hemp field that grew up straight, you were made a straightforward personality.
