現代語訳

藁を広げずに、これより鳥の羽を用いず押し集めて、指で取るべし。また五、六度かけて下抜き、一つの藁を二つとなす。また眠に向かって下抜き、藁は広げるべからず。これまで下抜きの度毎に藁の内へ糠を散らし、蚕を薄く敷くなり。四回目の起きには糠を用いず。もし下抜く日に当たって雨降り寒さ甚だしくは、糠の上へまず糠を一面にかけて、その上へ桑をかければ蚕皆桑の上へ上るなり。熱の悪気を隔ててよろし。 雨あらばこの術を施し、次の日下抜くべし。全ての四回目の庭蚕の下抜きを行い置けば、雨湿にも害なく、南風にも障りなし。実に四回目の眠蚕は母の功者・不功者にて繭の多少を得るなり。天気寒からば火を緩やかに焼き蚕を起こすべし。もし暖かならば火を去り、熱に至らしめることなかれ。 △四回目の四起、桑留め一食なり。朝に桑止めに至らば、日中に切桑を薄くかける。その夜振り桑す。これより先き

英語訳

Do not spread the straw mats, and from this point, do not use bird feathers but gather them by pushing and take them with fingers. Also, after five to six applications, perform bottom removal, making one straw mat into two. Also, perform bottom removal when approaching molting, and do not spread the straw mats. Up to this point, every time bottom removal is done, scatter rice bran inside the straw mats and spread the silkworms thinly. For the fourth waking, do not use rice bran. If rain falls and the cold is severe on the day of bottom removal, first spread rice bran evenly over the existing bran, then apply mulberry on top, and all silkworms will climb onto the mulberry. This properly blocks the bad air from heat. If it rains, apply this technique and perform bottom removal the next day. If all fourth-stage garden silkworm bottom removal is completed, there will be no harm from rain and humidity, and no hindrance from south winds. Indeed, for fourth-stage molting silkworms, the skill or lack of skill of the caretaker determines how many cocoons are obtained. If the weather is cold, gently light a fire to rouse the silkworms. If it is warm, remove the fire and do not let it become hot. △Fourth stage fourth waking, mulberry stopping is one feeding. When mulberry stopping is reached in the morning, apply cut mulberry thinly during the day. That night, perform shaking mulberry. From this point forward...
