現代語訳

【臣】葆光按ずるに、康熙元年冊封の詔に曰く「官を遣わして詔印を捧げ、封じて琉球国中山王と為す」と。則ち印文は当に「琉球国中山王之印」と云うべきに似たり。始めて詔文と相応ず。然れども考うるに、前明洪武十六年、始めて王察度に鍍金の銀印を賜う。十八年、又山南王・山北王に駝紐鍍金の銀印各一を賜う。この時国分かれて三と為る。察度止だ中山のみを有つ。則ち当に中山王と称すべし。今琉球既に山南・山北を併せて一と為ること、已に三百余年なり。而して本国尚中山一隅の号を仍る。蓋し前の襲封の旧文を承く。疑いあり乎、自ら不広を示すに。義を以て之を揆るに、当に賜印の如きは、止だ琉球国王と称するを正と為すべし。

中山王図【年二十歳。康熙三十九年庚辰、六月十九日生る。】

英語訳

[Minister] Baoguang notes that in the investiture edict of the first year of Kangxi, it states: "Dispatch officials to present the edict and seal, investing him as King of Chuzan of Ryukyu Kingdom." Therefore, the seal inscription should seemingly read "Seal of the King of Chuzan of Ryukyu Kingdom" to correspond with the edict text. However, upon examination, in the 16th year of Hongwu of the former Ming, they first bestowed upon King Satto a gold-plated silver seal. In the 18th year, they also bestowed upon the King of Nanzan and King of Hokuzan each a gold-plated silver seal with camel-shaped knob. At this time the country was divided into three. Satto possessed only Chuzan. Therefore he should rightfully be called King of Chuzan. Now Ryukyu has already unified Nanzan and Hokuzan into one for over three hundred years. Yet the country still retains the title of Chuzan, one corner [of the original three kingdoms]. This presumably follows the old precedent of previous investiture documents. There is doubt whether this demonstrates a lack of breadth. Judging by righteousness, for matters such as bestowing seals, it would be proper to simply call him "King of Ryukyu Kingdom."
