八幡大菩薩(ぼさつ)の霊験を愚童にもわかるようにと説き示したもの。同名にして内容の異なる2種がある。(1)2巻。蒙古(もうこ)襲来に際し、石清水八幡(いわしみずはちまん)とその別宮筥崎八幡(はこざきはちまん)が示した神威発揚について説いたもの。作者は石清水八幡宮の祠官(しかん)と考えられ、成立時期は蒙古襲来からほど遠くない時期と推定される。文永(ぶんえい)の役の対馬(つしま)・壱岐(いき)入寇(にゅうこう)に関する史料としてはほとんど唯一のものである。『群書類従』所収。(2)2巻。垂迹(すいじゃく)、名号、本地など14項目にわたり、八幡神の威徳の広大無辺なことを述べたもの。作者は石清水八幡宮の祠官、成立時期は鎌倉末期とそれぞれ推定される。『続群書類従』所収。
