Within the Heaven-illuminating Goddess, anyway...

Celebrating your departure to the East (Edo), I say:
In the end of the East where you go
or in this village,
do we live within
the Heaven-illuminating Goddess,
anyway.
(Verse No. 103)

東(あづま)へ旅だち給ひしを祝し奉りてかくはべりぬ
君が行く東のすゑもこのさとも
   天照る神のみうちなるらむ
(お歌第103号)
