継母の暗殺から逃れた雲雀山については、和歌山県有田市糸我町と橋本市恋野にも同じ名前の地名があり、どちらも、中将姫にまつわる言い伝えが残されている。

As for Mt. Hibari, to which she escaped from the assassination by her stepmother, there are more two places having the same name, one is in Itoga-cho, Arida City, Wakayama Prefecture, and another is in Koino, Hashimoto City, Wakayama Prefecture, and in both areas remain the legends linked to Chujo Hime.

ツムラの創業者津村重舎は大和国宇陀郡出身で、雲雀山青蓮寺の檀家であり、母の実家の藤村家に、逃亡中の中将姫をかくまった御礼に製法を教えられた薬（中将湯）が、代々伝えられていたという。

Jusha TSUMURA, the founder of Tsumura & Co., was from Uda County, Yamato Province, and a Buddhist parishioner of Shoren-ji Temple at Mt. Hibari; and his mother's family home, the Fujimura family had possessed for generations the prescription of medicine (called Chujo-to) which Chujo Hime had taught them as a token of her gratitude for hiding her in their house while she had been running away.

継母の暗殺から大和国雲雀山に逃れて、當麻寺（たいまでら）に入り尼となり（一説には父の左遷を悲しんだためとされる）勤行に励んで、徳によって仏の助力を得て、一夜で蓮糸で当麻曼荼羅（観無量寿経の曼荼羅）を織ったとされている。

She escaped from her stepmother who had tried to kill her, to Mt. Hibari of Yamato Province, where she became a nun at Taima-dera Temple (another legend says that it was because she mourned over her father's degradation), and she made devotional exercises at the temple and gained assistance from Buddha due to her virtues, and she could make Taima mandala (mandala based on Kanmuryoju-kyo [The Amitayur dhuyana Sutra]) weaving with lotus thread in one night.
