現代語訳
（前ページより続く）宮内（正祢宜）が転任した時分はどのようにされたのか、とお尋ねになったとのことである。この時は、宮内が（慣例を）断ったために超越することになった。今度の件については、上階（位階昇進）の時より譜代の職として申し上げてきた旨を断り申し上げた、とのことである。
また、日数の件についても惣代へ申し入れられた旨を、昨夕お聞かせいただいたことから、社法が複雑である旨、並びに給田・次座へ下される（ことに関わる）経緯を申し上げた。
【朱書き：この文は解読が難しく、原文のまま記す】
「少々のご理解をいただければ、社中よりお供をお願いしなくても（済む）」という旨を申し上げたところ、各人が「ただいまお話しになった様子を申し入れたところ、そのようなことはまったくご存知なく、両御所よりお頼みになったので、春の日数を秋に立て替える件を社中へ了承するよう頼むものである。諸々複雑な事情があり、了承しがたい事情があるのはもっともである。しかしながら、こちら（朝廷）の伝奏の内で社法を破ることはまったく迷惑に思し召されるので、相談を取り止めるよう」との仰せがあったとのことである。
何とか一社（上・下賀茂社）として了承する方向で相談申し上げていたところ、小堀仁右衛門が出仕されたため、あれこれと取り込みになり退出した。
【朱書き：その他の事柄は略す】
各人が評議して言うには、「まず伝奏のご配慮は有り難いことである。しかしながら、先の評議の通り、何とか了承できる案があれば貴命に叶い、伝奏のお頼みも果たせて、まことに珍重すべきことである」と言って、次々と了承に向けた相談がなされたが、別段の妙案は出なかった。そこで民部少輔・右馬権頭の両人を招いて評議の趣旨を説明した上で、各人の考えがあれば申し述べるよう（求めた）。しかしながら、一社（全体）として了承が及ばない以上、両人に思案がないと申された場合は、春の日数を秋の日数に立て替えることは……（次ページへ続く）

(Continuing from the previous page) It was asked how matters were handled at the time of Kunaishō (Senior Negi)'s transfer to a new post. At that time, Kunaishō had declined and thus an exception was made. Regarding the current matter, he stated that he had formally declined, noting that it had been declared a hereditary position (fudai shoku) since the time of the promotion in court rank.
Furthermore, since it was conveyed the previous evening that the matter of the hi-kazu (the number of days of ritual observance) had also been communicated to the sōdai (representatives), an explanation was given of the complex nature of the shrine's laws, along with the circumstances regarding the kyūden (stipend fields) and the assignment to the ji-za (secondary seat).
[Written in red: This passage is difficult to interpret; recorded as in the original]
When it was stated that "with a little understanding, it would not be necessary to request the shrine community to provide an escort," each person reported that when this was conveyed, (the imperial representatives) had said they were completely unaware of such circumstances, and that since both御所 (imperial residences) had made the request, the matter of substituting the spring hi-kazu for autumn was being asked of the shrine community. It was acknowledged that the various complexities made compliance difficult. However, since it would be entirely unwelcome for shrine laws to be broken through the agency of the court's传奏 (court liaison officials), the order was given to discontinue the consultations.
While discussions were being held to reach a consensus within the shrine (both Upper and Lower Kamo Shrines), Kobori Jinuemon arrived on duty, causing various interruptions, and (the meeting) was adjourned.
[Written in red: Other matters are omitted]
The assembled members deliberated, saying: "First and foremost, the consideration shown by the Tensō (court liaison) is deeply appreciated. However, as stated in the earlier deliberation, if there is any acceptable compromise, it would fulfill the honored command and also meet the Tensō's request — a most precious outcome." With this, various proposals for a compromise were discussed, but no substantially different plan emerged. Accordingly, both Minbu no Shōyū and Uma no Gonnokami were summoned, the substance of the deliberations was explained to them, and they were asked to put forward any ideas they might have. However, since the shrine community as a whole had not been able to reach agreement, if the two men likewise had no proposal to offer, then substituting the spring hi-kazu for the autumn hi-kazu would...
