48 List 1 contains twenty-two names, but the three missing names can be found in all three of the other lists. List 4 contains only twenty-one names, but the four missing names are found in the other three lists. Except for the fact that Lists 1 and 4 are missing several names and the fact that several names are written using different characters, all four lists generally agree with one another.

49 In Lists 2 and 4.

50 In List 3.

51 In List 2. Immediately before the two lists, this text states, “The basic founding members of the Nijūgo zanmaie, as well as the members who made karmic connections with the same.” Apparently this text is referring to the twenty-five monks on the first list as “basic founding members” and the nineteen monks in the following list as “members who made karmic connections with the Nijūgo zanmaie.” See Wada, “Kōyasan no Nijūgo zanmai shiki,” 351.

52 List 3. It also gives “first members who made karmic connections (with the Nijūgo zanmaie [saisho kechienshū 最初結縁衆])” as a variant reading, but there is no indication of the source of this variant. See EZ 1: 672.

56 Ishida, Jōdōkyō no tenkai, 98–99.

57 Nara, Shoki Eizan jōdokyō, 141–143.

58 This vow is found in the 1215 version of the Nijūgo zanmaie shiki. See Wada, “Kōyasan no Nijūgo zanmai shiki,” 338.

59 Information on the members of the association is provided in Hori Daiji, “Nijūgo zanmaie no seiritsu,” 144–145.

60 This document shows that all fourteen were young monks who were in their twenties, approximately the same age as their lay counterparts. Some of them, it may be added, later rose to high positions within the Tendai school. See Gotō, “Kangakueki,” 19–22.

62 Information on this association is derived from the Sō Hankō tō rensho kishōmon 僧範好等連署起請文 (Covenant Signed by t he Monk Hankō and Others), a document dated 8/26/Chōtoku 長徳 2 (996) and signed by five monks. This document gives an account of the founding of this association. A note appended to it states that it was written by Yoshishige no Yasutane. The document is found in Takeuchi Rizō, ed., Heian ibun (Tokyo: Tōkyōdō, 1964), 9: 3488–3489. This association is discussed in Hori Daiji, “Nijūgo zanmaie no seiritsu,” 155–157, and Hayami, Genshin, 135–136.

63 It may be recalled that Genshin had earlier written a treatise on Buddhist logic, the Inmyōronsho shisōi ryakuchūshaku, for Gonku.
