神馬を神前に牽き向ける《先にこれを鳥居内に牽き入れ、舞人の座上の方に猶予する》社壇を三廻する《左廻り》了って鳥居を出る。次に舞人が奉幣する《その儀は十人の内、上首より二人宛が神前庭上の膝突に着く。この時神人が公幣を持ち来たり左右に候する。これにより上首には祢宜方の刀祢がこれを渡し、下臈には祝方の刀祢がこれを渡す。私幣は持ったまま着座する。尤も幼年といえどもこの儀は然るべからず、召具に申し付け置き、先ず二拝了後に渡すべき儀である。今多く誤り来たっており、本儀とすべからざるものである》了って神人に渡す。復座して各々相済みの後、一所に持ち之を両官に授ける《先ず祢宜方、後に祝方》。両官は捧げ持ち、御戸の左右に寄り立ち一拝、土居に降りて一拝《この時口授有り》、還祝詞を申し拍手する。舞人これに応ずる《近代はこの儀なし》。了って奉幣を撤し神人に渡す《この奉幣は神人の直会である》。
事了って両官以下舞人等は神供・御酒の直会を行う《先ず神供を御櫃に入れたまま通し、次に御酒を柄杓に入れる。神人がこれを役とする》。了って神馬以下舞人等は退下し鳥居を出て、初めの如く乗馬して相列し本宮一の鳥居の下に帰向する《鳥居の下において下馬し鳥居を過ぎて更に乗馬する。古儀では走馬があったという。近代はこの儀なし》。次に両官が退下し、次に二島居において神馬を先として十列相従い三迊牽き廻してから退下する。

英語訳
The sacred horse is led toward the front of the deity <<first it is led inside the torii gate and given respite in the direction above the dancers' seats>>. It circles the shrine platform three times <<circling to the left>> and then exits through the torii gate. Next, the dancers present offerings <<In this procedure, two people at a time from among the ten, starting from the highest ranking, take positions kneeling in the courtyard before the deity. At this time, shrine servants bring public offerings and wait on the left and right. Accordingly, the prayer attendant (tone) from the prayer master's side hands them to the highest ranking, and the prayer attendant from the ritualist's side hands them to the lower ranking. Private offerings are held while seated. Even though they may be of young age, this procedure should not be done this way - it should be arranged with the attendants so that the offerings are handed over after first performing two bows. Currently, many errors have crept in, and this should not be considered the proper procedure>>. After completion, they hand them to the shrine servants. After returning to their seats and each completing their part, they bring them together and present them to both officials <<first to the prayer master's side, then to the ritualist's side>>. Both officials hold them up, stand close to the left and right of the sacred doors, perform one bow, descend to the earthen platform and perform one bow <<at this time there is oral instruction>>, recite return prayers and clap hands. The dancers respond to this <<in recent times this ceremony does not exist>>. After completion, the offerings are removed and handed to the shrine servants <<these offerings become the shrine servants' ceremonial feast>>.
After the ceremony concludes, both officials and the dancers below partake in a ceremonial feast of sacred offerings and sacred sake <<first the sacred offerings are passed through while remaining in the sacred container, then sacred sake is placed in ladles. Shrine servants serve this duty>>. After completion, the sacred horse and dancers below withdraw, exit through the torii gate, mount horses as before, form ranks, and return toward the main shrine's first torii gate <<they dismount below the torii gate, pass through the torii, and mount horses again. In ancient ceremony there was galloping on horseback. This ceremony no longer exists in recent times>>. Next, both officials withdraw, then at Nijima-i, with the sacred horse leading, ten ranks follow in order, circle around three times, then withdraw.
