現代語訳
統（桓武天皇）の両帝を始めとして、その後十三代の帝王まで、国家鎮護の勅願所であることは明らかである。当寺の二世を勤操（ごんそう）和尚、三世を弘法大師とする。当時の伽藍堂塔の盛大なことは、すべて大師の撰んだ儀軌に見えている。今は事情により省略する。

英語訳
Beginning with both emperors (including Emperor Kanmu), and continuing through thirteen generations of emperors thereafter, this temple clearly served as an imperial temple for the protection of the nation. The second abbot of this temple was the monk Gonsō, and the third was Kōbō Daishi (Kūkai). The magnificence of the temple halls and pagodas of that time can all be seen in the liturgical manuals compiled by the great master. Due to present circumstances, details are omitted here.

○Manzai performers《In Yabumura there are Shinfuku Dayū, Matsufuku Dayū, and Komefuku Dayū; in Kagiya Village there are Uwaha Dayū and several others, all of the same school as the Mikawa court manzai. Originally, during the reign of the 89th human emperor, Emperor Kameyama, when the founding priest Mujū Kokushi of Chōbo-ji Temple in Kigasaki, Yamada District of the same province, was present, there was a man called Yūsuke in Ajima Village, which was part of that temple's domain. Being poor, at the beginning of each year he would go from house to house, singing and dancing "fortune comes" and "treasure springs forth" while begging for alms.》
