Ofudesaki chushaku

4:11 I, Oyagami, tell and explain this to you, and there is nothing false in what I say. Wait and look forward to the things that will appear one after another on this marvelous path!

『おふでさき註釈』、p. 55

一一、これから説いてきかせっるが、親神の話には決して偽りはない。次々に現れて来る珍しい道を楽しみにして持っているがよい。

Commentary by Yoshitaro Ueda (2008)

From Michi no dai: Foundation of the Path 34:40

“From now on” there will be “a mountain of stories”–a great many stories–to be told by God about the path. Verse 11 says to watch closely how this path will unfold. This “marvelous path” is unprecedented, wonderful, and splendid. As I said before, the word “mezurashii”– which is here rendered as “marvelous”–is usually used in a positive sense. The word derives from “mezu,” which means to “love” or “adore.”
