Die beiden, der Großsohn und der Jungsohn, banden ein Floß, stiegen auf das gleiche Floß und zerriß plötzlich die Stricke; das Floß löste sich und sie treiben die Bucht hindurch aufs Meer hinaus.

The sea was extremly rough, breaking the ropes that heald the raft together and immediately the raft broke apart and driffted out of the port into the sea. The man and the boy each got hold of a piece of wood and drifted to sea on it.

Die beiden Männer hatten jeder einen Baumstamm und treiben darauf im Meere. Die beiden wussten nichts (mehr), riefen nur: ‚‚Namu! Von der ganzenlosen Not errette uns, Shakamuni-Buddha! ‘‘ heulend schreiend ohne Unterlaß.
|
| Both of them were ignorant, but they never ceased wailing,„Sakyamuni Buddha, please deliver us from this calamity!“

|
| After five days, the boy was eventually cast by the waves onto the beach at a salt makers'village, Tamachino no ura, in the south western parth of Awaji province, in the evening.

Jenes Landes Leute sehen (sie) und fragten, wieso sie gekommen, und erfuhren, was gewessen, und nahmen sie wohltätig auf und erstatteten den Behörde jenes Landes Bericht. Die Landesbehörde hörte und sah schmerzergriffen und gewährte ihnen gütig Unterhalt.
|
| The local people, having asked why they had been cast by the waves onto the shore, learned what had happend and took care of them out of pity, reporting it to the provincial magistrate. When he heard, he came to see them and gave them food because he was symphatetic.

| 國司聞見之,悲賑給糧.小男歎曰:「從殺生人,受苦無量.我亦還到,彼又駈使,猶聿不止殺生之業.」留淡路國國分寺,從其寺僧
|
Der Jungsohn sprach seufzend: ‚‚Lebentötenwiederum zurückgekehrt sein werde, werde ich wieder harten Dienst tun müssen, uns nie wird das lebentötende Geschäft enden.‘‘ So blieb er in einem Landes- Zweigtempel des Ahali Landes und folgte dieses Tempels Priester.
|
| In grief, the boy said,„If I had followed a men who kills, my suffering is immesurable. If I go home I shall be driven to begin killing abain and never be able to stop.“. Thus he stayed at the provincial temple in Awaji province, becoming the follower of the monk of that temple.

|
| Umakai, however, went home after two mounth. When his family saw his face and protruding eyes, they wondered and said,„He was drowned in the sea. The seventh seventh day has passed and we had already offered a vegetarian feast to thank the Buddha for this benevollence.How could he came back alive so unexpectedly? it is a dream or he is a ghost?“.Thereupon, Umakai told his family in detail what had happened, and they were sorrowedfull as well as happy.

|
|
|
| 海中雖多難,而全命存身,寔尺迦如來之威德,海中漂人之深信矣.
|
| The sea being full of danger, it was owning to the power of the Shakanyorai and the deep faith of those who drifted on the sea that they could survive the peril.

|
|
| 現報猶如是.況後報也.
