Eight Verses of the Yorozuyo (よろづよ八首 Yorozuyo hasshu), often simply called "Yorozuyo," refers to section four of the Mikagura-uta. It is occasionally referred to as the “prologue” (dashi) of the Teodori/Twelve Songs. The Eight Verses of the Yorozuyo are based on the first eight verses of the Ofudesaki and said to have been added to the Tenrikyo canon in 1870.
The name "Yorozuyo" comes from the first phrase of the text, which means "manifold ages." Although it is a convention in Tenrikyo literature to write "Yorozuyo" in hiragana, it is possible to apply the kanji 萬代.
