The gosho states,
[W]inter always turns to spring.(*)
By challenging ourselves every day with
rigorous fortitude, we are creating
causes for a triumphant life.
Let's each win and open the way
to a springtime filled with happiness and fortune
in our respective arenas.

The great citadel of Soka is
rock solid due to the efforts of

"mothers" of kosen-rufu.
Let's pay our utmost respect
to the women's division, protect them,
and praise them.
Therein lies the ever-victorious path.
