Japanese: 異説として柿本人麻呂説があるが空想の域を出ておらず、研究者らの支持を得られていない。
English: Although "Sarumarutayushu" is included in "Sanjurokunin-shu," it is a collection of miscellaneous old waka by a later compiler and, therefore, it is necessary to verify if the waka in it was really composed by Sarumaru no Taifu or not.

Japanese: 三十六歌仙の一人と言われながら猿丸太夫作と断定出来る歌が一つもない（奥山も太夫作ではないとする説も多い）。
English: Therefore there is a view that people were afraid of the power that killed Hitomaro and called him by a difference name, Sarumaru.
Japanese: そのため、彼を死に至らしめた権力側をはばかり彼の名を猿丸太夫と別名で呼んだ説である。
English: If Hitomaro was politically purged as advocated by this view, however, it is logical to consider that Hitomaro had a certain level of official rank (not lower than the Fifth Rank) that should have been recorded in the official history.
