An arrow flies by the strength of a bow and the clouds move by the power of a dragon. Likewise, the activities of a man depend on the power of his wife. Lord Toki’s visiting me here in the deep mountain of Minobu this time is solely due to your power, My Lady the Nun.

When we see smoke, we think of fire. When we see rain, we think of the dragon that causes it. Likewise, when we see a husband’s conduct, we can think of his wife who motivates him. When I recently saw your husband, Lord Toki, I felt as though I saw you in person.
