現代語訳
（三月三日御節供・続き）
九月の菊等、また十一月の御掃除まで（内陣に）そのままにしておくものとのことである。今日の直会は庁屋で行われ、夕方の御料まで通される。
【私注】
二月二十日の土解祭の時に御鍵を開けるのは権祝の役である。（権祝が）開けなかったため、保矩が参って開けてくださったとのことである。
この月は大の月である。よって二十七日に貴布祢（貴船）の御神祭があり、浄衣・鬮（くじ）については、元（本社）より案内がある。
二十九日に平手付（ひらてつき）が長屋で行われる。いつもは神主がこれに当たる。

四月朔日 御神祭・奉幣
用意する幣は九本。これは神主がお仕えになるもので、いつも御棚の道具をこのように整えて置くものとのことである。奉幣の場所と数については以下の通り：
・本社にて二本、一つにまとめて持参する
・権殿にて、本社と同様に二本
・鈴鹿社にて一本
・本社の後ろのくろ尾の社まで一本（社としての形はなく、石垣ばかりである）
・牛一殿にて一本（牛一の前まで降りずに、上から行う）
・二ツ社にて一本（二ツ社とは、一社は林田社、一社は私（キサ）市と申す）
・奥まで（行き）、桂の本社にて一本
以上、合計九本である。
貴布祢の両官（二社）は今日の奉幣がないのは不審なことである。神主だけでよいのか、尋ねるべき事柄である。
神供の長櫃（ながびつ）は七合（ごう）、奥の分として一棹（さお）、奥穂手（おくほて）四つ。これも庁屋にて仕立てる。
神主（保矩）、祢宜（筑後・重次）、祝（内匠助陽久）は、市原鳥居にて下馬する。それより貴布祢社へ三度参拝するのは例の通りである。まず本社にて奉幣、次に権殿、次に鈴鹿（社）、次にくろ尾（本社の後ろである。また一説には牛一の上、大木の下をくろ尾の社と言うとのことで、尋ねるべきことである）、次に牛一（社）、次に谷の宿へ行く。
両官は束帯・夏袍（かほう）を着用。神主は衣冠・冬袍（とうほう）を着用。
まず拝殿の座に着く。預大夫が御鍵を渡す。ただしこの御鍵は代官衆が預かっているとのことである。祝が御鍵を受け取り、神前に進む際に、まず左右の狛犬を後方へ五・六寸ほど寄せるべし。これは外陣の御供台盤が二つあり、（その間に）空きがないためである、云々。
次に付け鳥（神の使いの鳥の飾り）を、神の右方の上の長押（なげし）に掛け置くべし。次に御戸を開き、両宮の内陣へ入る。揖（ゆう）等は例の通りで、当社（下鴨社）と同様である。
第一に、横の物（横長の供え物）はことごとく内陣へ備える。二の櫃の分は外陣へ供える。御窪手は内陣に二つ、外陣に二つ（内陣は見えないが、外陣のものも同様とする）。秘すべし、秘すべし。
まず御窪手を右・左にそれぞれ図のように置く。
英語訳
(Third Month, Third Day: Go-Sekku Seasonal Festival, continued)
The chrysanthemums from the ninth month and other items are likewise to remain in place until the Great Cleaning in the eleventh month. Today's naorai (post-ritual feast) is held at the Chōya (administrative hall), and it continues through the evening's offering of food.
[Personal Note]
At the time of the Earth-Release Festival (Toki-e Matsuri) on the twentieth day of the second month, the opening of the sacred key is the duty of the Gon-Hafuri (Acting Subordinate Priest). Because (the Gon-Hafuri) did not open it, Yasunori attended and opened it himself.
This month is a long month (with 30 days). Therefore, on the twenty-seventh day, there is the Sacred Deity Festival (Mikami-matsuri) at Kibune (Kifune) Shrine, and notification concerning the purification garments (jōe) and lot-drawing (kuji) comes from the Main Shrine (moto).
On the twenty-ninth day, the hirate-tsuki ceremony is held at the long-house (nagaya). It is usually conducted by the head priest.

**Fourth Month, First Day: Divine Festival and Nusa Offering (Hōhei)**
Nine nusa (wand offerings) are prepared. This is something the head priest attends to, and the implements on the offering shelf are always to be arranged and set out in this manner. Regarding the places where the nusa are offered:
- At the Main Shrine: two nusa, carried together as one
- At the Gonden (Temporary Shrine): same as the Main Shrine, two nusa
- At the Suzuka Shrine: one nusa
- Up to the Kuro-o Shrine behind the Main Shrine: one nusa (there is no shrine structure, only a stone enclosure)
- At the Ushi-ichi Hall: one nusa (one does not descend to the front of Ushi-ichi; the offering is made from above)
- At Futasu-yashiro (the Two-Shrine complex): one nusa (the Two-Shrine complex consists of Hayashida Shrine on one side and the shrine called Kisaichi on the other)
- Going all the way to the back, one nusa at the Main Katsura Shrine
Total: nine nusa as listed above. It is suspicious that there is no nusa offering today for the two official shrines at Kibune. This seems to be a matter only for the head priest — it is something that should be inquired about.
The long chest (nagabitsu) for the divine food offerings contains seven units (gō); one pole-load (sao) for the inner-rear section; four okuho-te (inner supplementary offerings). These are also prepared at the Chōya.
The Head Priest (Yasunori), the Negi (Chikugo, Shigetsugu), and the Hafuri (Takumi-no-suke Haruhisa) dismount their horses at the Ichihara Torii gate. From there, they make three circuits of Kibune Shrine, as is customary. First, the nusa offering is made at the Main Shrine, next at the Gonden, then at Suzuka (Shrine), then at Kuro-o (which is behind the Main Shrine; though another account says that the Kuro-o Shrine is beneath a large tree above Ushi-ichi — this should be inquired about), then at Ushi-ichi Shrine, then they proceed to the valley lodging (tani no shuku).
The two shrine officials wear sokutai (full court dress) with summer robes (kahō). The head priest wears ikan (informal court dress) with a winter robe (tōhō).
First, they take their seats in the haiden (oratory). The Azukari-dayū (senior custodian) passes the sacred key. However, it is said that this key is held in the custody of the daikan-shū (deputy officials). The Hafuri receives the sacred key and proceeds toward the divine presence. At this point, the left and right komainu (guardian lion-dogs) are to first be moved approximately five or six sun (approximately 15–18 cm) backward. This is because the two offering stands (kudai-ban) in the outer sanctuary (gejin) leave no space, and so on.
Next, the attached bird (tsuketori — an ornamental bird figure symbolizing the deity's messenger) is to be hung on the upper nageshi (wall beam) to the right side of the deity. Then the sanctuary doors are opened and one enters the inner sanctuary (naijin) of both shrines. The bowing (yū) and other procedures follow the usual custom, identical to those at the present shrine (Shimogamo).
First, all the horizontal items (yoko no mono — laterally arranged offerings) are placed entirely within the inner sanctuary. The contents of the second chest are offered in the outer sanctuary (gejin). The okubo-te (deep trough offerings) number two in the inner sanctuary and two in the outer sanctuary (though those in the inner sanctuary are not visible, they follow the same arrangement as those in the outer sanctuary). This is to be kept strictly secret.
First, the okubo-te are placed to the right and left as shown in the diagram.
