現代語訳

御霊屋
御名代拝礼を首尾よく相勤め、万端滞りなく相済ませ申し候

右の言上を終えて御下段へ摺り下り、右へ廻って下より二畳目へ手をついて平伏した。御用番が顔ばかり向けると御取り合いがあった。
この節の骨折りは大儀であったとの上意があり、また伊豆守殿へ向かうとの御取り合いがあって終了した。
右へ廻って退去し、初めの通り参上して羽目の間、山吹の間を通り、席へ参上して滞りなく帰府の御目見えを申し上げた旨を、同席の奏者番へも言い広めた。詰日の衆より先に退出した。

一、退出の節、年寄衆本多弾正大弼殿、若年寄衆へ挨拶に廻った。

一、当勤の同席中へ「今日光より帰りの御目見えを申し上げ、上意を蒙り有り難い仕合わせと存じ奉る。これにより詰日助ども相勤めるべく間、色々御相談いただきたく」との旨の廻状を以って案内を申し遣わした。

一、日光帰りの御目見え詰日助ども相勤めるべき廻状を差し出したところ、詰日割の廻状が本多伯耆殿より到来した。

英語訳

Mausoleum
I have successfully performed the proxy worship ceremony and completed all matters without any delays.

After completing this report, I slid down to the lower platform, turned to the right, placed my hands on the second tatami mat from below, and prostrated myself. When the duty officer merely turned his face toward me, there was an acknowledgment.
There was an imperial word that my efforts during this period were greatly appreciated, and after another acknowledgment directed toward Lord Izu-no-kami, the ceremony concluded.
I turned to the right and withdrew, proceeded as initially through the Hame-no-ma and Yamabuki-no-ma chambers, came to my seat, and spread word to the fellow sōshaban (masters of ceremony) that I had successfully completed the audience upon returning to Edo without incident. I withdrew before the officials on duty.

1. Upon withdrawal, I made courtesy visits to the elder councilor Lord Honda Danjō-daihitsu and the junior councilors.

1. To my fellow officials of the current service, I sent a circular notice stating: "Today I reported my audience upon returning from Nikkō and received gracious imperial words, for which I am deeply grateful. Therefore, as the duty assistants should serve, please provide various consultations."

1. Having submitted a circular notice that duty assistants should serve for the Nikkō return audience, a duty assignment circular arrived from Lord Honda Hōki-no-kami.
