Japanese: なおこの時代に上乗院が寺主となって興福寺の支配下から離れ、真言宗寺院となっている。
English: The temple was the fourth biggest temple in Yamato (roughly current Nara Prefecture), after Todai-ji Temple, Kofuku-ji Temple, and Horyu-ji Temple, and they were once called as 'Nikko in the West' due to its huge scale and magnificent buildings of the temple.
Japanese: 大和では東大寺・興福寺・法隆寺に次ぐ待遇を受ける大寺であり、その規模の大きさと伽藍の壮麗さから、江戸時代には「西の日光」とも呼び習わされた。
English: The temple also deeply involved in Tozan-ha school of Shugendo (Japanese ascetic and shamanistic practice in mountainous sites), playing an important role as one of the Tozan-sanjuroku-daisendatsushu (Tozan school's thirty-six great leaders), and this became one of the major reasons why the temple had to be damaged fatally at the beginning of the Meiji period, when Shugendo was forbidden by the Ordinance Distinguishing Shinto and Buddhism, which contributed the anti-Buddhist movement in the next phase.
Japanese: また、当寺は修験道当山派との関わりも深く、当山三十六正大先達衆を構成する一寺として、重要な役割を果たしており、これは修験道が明治の神仏分離令で禁止された結果、続く廃仏毀釈で当寺が致命的な打撃を被る一因となった。

Japanese: 更に、壮麗を極めた堂宇や什宝はことごとく徹底した破壊と略取の対象となった。

Japanese: この際流出した仏像・仏画・経典等はいずれも製作当時の工芸技術の精華と言うべき優品揃いであったことが知られている。
English: Some of treasures were taken away to foreign countries, and among such treasures, a painting of Shingon-hasso-zo (painting of the eight founders of the Shingon sect), which was attributed to Shinnen, was bought by the Ehnological Museum of Berlin, but it was reduced to ashes because of the Battle of Berlin, at the very end of World War II.
Japanese: 海外に流出した宝物の内、ベルリン民俗学博物館が購入した真然筆と伝えられる真言八祖像などは第二次世界大戦末期のベルリン攻防戦で烏有に帰した。
English: However, the fact that many of the treasures that survived the time and kept in Japan are now designated as Important Cultural Properties or National Treasures just indicates how enormous the wealth the temple had was.
Japanese: しかし、日本国内に残存した宝物の大半が、現在重要文化財・国宝指定を受けていることは、当寺の得ていた富がいかに巨大であったかを物語るものである。
English: Most of the temple's site is now used as farmlands, and only two things, a pond by which the hondo (mail hall) stood, and a monument indicating the former Kaya Place, are suggesting the bygone days.
Japanese: 現在では当寺の敷地の大半は農地となり、本堂池と萱御所跡の碑が往時をしのぶだけである。
