Commentary by Yoshitaro Ueda (2008)
From Michi no dai: Foundation of the Path 32:44
1:60 The phrase “the child” is said to refer to Oshu, who at the time was 17. The verses say, “Although you are saying you want to train the child for two or three more years, she is already out of the hands of God." This could be seen as a prediction she will pass away for rebirth. As a matter of fact, she passed away at the age of 18 in 1870, the year after these verses were written.
