方方への強言(ごうげん)申すに及ばず是(しかし)ながら()強毒(ごうどく)()の故なり、

I have used very strong language in my letters, but this is because it is necessary to “force others to listen, though it angers them.”

Needless to say, this will be the result of the strong remonstrations I carried out with many people. It is, however, the manifestation of “bringing forth the poison [-drum relationship by forcefully teaching the Law to others]” .

日蓮庶幾(しょき)せしむる所に候、

This is what I, Nichiren, fervently have wished for.
