6:70 All of you, what do you think of how frustrated I feel for those with mere human thoughts to ban the sacred name I came up with? *Note: This verse is referring to when a number of followers were summoned on the 17th of the 11th lunar month (11/17) in 1874 and were sternly warned to stop their faith by officials of the Nara Chukyoin, who said, “There is no god by the name of Tenri-O-no-Mikoto. It would be best that you not worship such a god hereafter.”

『おふでさき註釈』、p. 103 七〇、親神がつけた神名を、ただ人間心から取り払おうとするが、この親神のもどかしさの程を皆は何と思うているか。 註　明治七年陰暦十一月十七日、奈良中教院から召喚を受け「天理王命など言う神はない。宜しく向後かような神を尊奉しないよう。」との、信仰差し止めの厳命をされた事について述べられたものである。
