15:88 If you are to stop the single-hearted effort to complete the Service that is to begin at this time, I shall immediately receive the proxy at least. *Note: “Proxy” (myodai): This verse was considered to be a prediction that Oyagami would receive Otojiro’s life in place of his father Shuji.

『おふでさき註釈』、p. 234–5 八八、今度始めるつとめ一条をとめるならば、名代だけでも直ぐに迎い取る。 註　みよだいは、名代で、秀司先生の名代として音次郎氏を迎い取るという御予言である、と思われていた。
