As one of the disciples sang celebrating of his sixtieth year (the completion of one big Chinese zodiac cycle) that
In the blessing of the heaven and the earthgrows the hearts of gods
in me that becomes a three-year-toddler
again from this year on:
It is indeed a big blessing to become
a three-year-old toddler again from this year on;
the blessing will even be bigger
if you could become a baby again!
(Verse No. 111)
門人還暦の寿に、
ことしより三つ子になりて天つちのめぐみにそだつ神のふところ
と 詠みいでたれば
ことしより三つ子となるもありがたし
赤子となればなほありがたきかな
(お歌第111号)
