(Brief translation in modern Japanese: Before the battle, Kanehira advised Yoshinaka to 'raise his spirits like a warrior,' but when Yoshinaka tried to continue fighting in the battle until his death, Kanehira calmly advised him that he should commit suicide bravely because he was too exhausted to fight any further, and gave Yoshinaka enough time to kill himself.)
（現代語簡訳：戦前は義仲に「武士らしく強気になれ」と助言をし、戦中は死を共にしようとする義仲に「疲れているのだから潔く自害しなさい」と冷静にアドバイスをし、義仲が自害する時間稼ぎをした。)
