Whakaotihia te rerenga e whai ake nei: I te wa i whakaorangia ai e Dōkyō te mate o Kōken i te 761, i muri i tana wehenga i te 758, i eke ia ki tetahi waahi haumaru me te whai mana i roto i tana marae; i te tuatahi i whakaarohia ia hei kaiwhakaora me tana kaitohutohu wairua, i mua i tana huri ki a ia mo nga tohutohu torangapu hoki. E ai ki ētahi kōrero, ka noho hoki ia hei hoa aroha. I te wa i ngana ai a Junnin ki te whakahe ki a ia mo tenei take whakamutunga, ka paopao ia ki a ia ka whakawhiwhia ki a Dōkyō he mana nui ake me te mana. I tohua ia e ia hei "shōsōzu" i te 763, he tūranga nui i roto i te taumata Buddhist. I riri a Fujiwara no Nakamaro, he tino pai ki te Emepara Junnin, na tenei whakatau, engari i rahua tana ngana ki te whakahe ki a Dōkyō - i whakaraua ia. I te hokinga mai o Kōken ki te torona hei Empress Shōtoku whai muri i a Fujiwara no Nakamaro
I muri i te whakatutukitanga o te tutu kaore i angitu, i hangaia a Dōkyō hei daijō-daijin i roto i te tau kotahi, ka whakawhiwhia ki a ia te mana mo nga mahi a-iwi me nga mahi haahi.
