現代語訳
（前ページより続き）祝屋へ行く。祝屋より各々東へ出て降り、宮巡り（みやめぐり）がある。大宮巡りである。御掃除の儀が終わった。これより二の鳥居へ受け入れて、御神幸の事が始まる。
《割書：神幸の儀》
一、まず二の鳥居より直接に御生所（おいべどころ）へ参る。御囲いの前、東方・西向きに北上（北を上座とする並び）で長床の座がある。まず着座する前に、神前にて平伏する。着座すると、別当・所司が葵を持って来て、各々が冠の巾子（こじ）に掛ける。
次に、各々が持参した幣を持つところへ、神人がさらに幣を一捧ずつ持って来て、それを持たせる。二捧と笏を持ち添えて立ち、再拝・幣を振り終えて、座して祝詞を申し終わる。次に神人が二本の幣を受け取り、その後、御供（おそなえ）を御櫃（みひつ）に入れて通す。各々これを手に頂く。神酒が通った後、神人が来参して、件の幣と下がり（さがり）を引き裂いて御櫃に入れ、持って来る。神主より次第にこれを十五さきほど取るが、その数は知り難いため、おおかた二十ばかりを取る。その時、神人が榊五本を持って来る。一人ずつ持って五人が来る。五官は各々そのさきたる（裂いた）幣を、榊一本につき三箇所ずつ、各々につける。五本すべてに各々付ける。そのうち内の一本は木花開耶姫（このはなさくやびめ）の始めである棚尾（たなお）の御神である、云々。次が下の川合社（かわあいしゃ）である、云々。次が片岡殿（かたおかどの）、次が貴布祢殿（きふねどの）、次が氏神殿（うじがみどの）、以上五本である、云々。裂いた四手（しで）を付けること、五人にて三つずつ、以上十五箇所に付ける。付けた後、神人五人が一本ずつ捧げ持ち、御囲いの前を三反（みたびめぐる）巡る。さて、歌役の別当大夫が拍子木を打って、御殿へ神幸する。五官役と社務代の六人は、やや後より松明を持たせ、御殿の方へ参り向かう。日の門まで御榊を持参する頃合いに、別当は立ち返り、御殿の乾門（いぬいもん）の北橋
（割書：預部屋の下）
まで迎えに参る。それより西門より七人ともに入る。次に御榊の第一と第二は、棚尾社の左右に立て置く。第三・第四・第五は、御所屋の巽（たつみ）方の芝に、三方向きに立て置く。さて、御戸を開いて葵を備え進め、祝詞を申す。神主は廊下より祝屋へ行き、下の四人は小庭より白砂を経て行く。祝は…

[Continued from the previous page] …proceed to the Hafuri-ya (ritualists' hall). From the Hafuri-ya, each person exits to the east, descends, and the shrine circuit (miya-meguri) takes place — this is the Grand Shrine Circuit (ō-miya-meguri). The purification sweeping ceremony is now concluded. From this point, the participants are received at the Second Torii Gate, and the Divine Procession (o-shinkō) formally begins.
《Marginal note: The Ceremony of the Divine Procession (Shinkō no gi)》
Item: First, proceeding directly from the Second Torii Gate to the O-ibe-dokoro (the sacred birth-place sanctuary). In front of the sacred enclosure (o-kakoi), facing west on the east side, with north as the place of honor, seating is arranged on the long floor (naga-toko). Before taking their seats, the participants prostrate themselves before the divine presence. Upon being seated, the bettō (chief administrator) and shoshi (administrative official) bring the aoi (hollyhock) and each person hangs it from the kōshi (the topknot-mount) of their court cap (kanmuri).
Next, just as each person is holding the nusa (wand offering) they have brought, the jinin (shrine attendants) bring one additional nusa each for everyone to hold. Holding two nusa and a shaku (ceremonial baton) together, the participants stand, perform two prostrations, shake the nusa, and then sit and recite the norito (ritual prayers). The jinin then receive the two nusa. Thereafter, the o-sonaemono (sacred offerings) are passed through in a sacred chest (o-hitsu), and each person receives them by holding them up to their head with both hands. After the sacred sake (o-miki) has passed, the jinin come forward and tear up the nusa and the shide (zigzag paper streamers) into pieces, place them into the o-hitsu, and bring them forth. Beginning with the head priest, each person in order takes approximately fifteen torn pieces — since the exact number is difficult to ascertain, roughly twenty pieces are taken. At this point, the jinin bring five sakaki (sacred evergreen) branches, one person carrying one branch each, five people in all. Each of the five senior officials (gokan) attaches the torn nusa pieces to each sakaki branch, three places per branch. All five branches receive attachments in this manner. The innermost one is for the deity of Tanao Shrine — the beginning of Konohanasakuya-hime — and so forth. The next is for the lower Kawai Shrine, and so forth. Then Kataoka-dono, then Kibune-dono, then the Ujigami-dono — five branches in total, and so forth. The attaching of the torn shide is done by five people, three locations each, totaling fifteen places. After the attachment is complete, five jinin, each holding one branch aloft, circle the front of the sacred enclosure three times. Then, the bettō-dayū who serves as the song officiant (utagaku) strikes the wooden clappers (hyōshigi), signaling the divine procession toward the main shrine hall (o-den). The six individuals — the five senior officials and the shamu-dai (shrine affairs representative) — follow slightly behind, having torchbearers carry torches, and proceed toward the main hall. Around the time the o-sakaki are carried as far as the Hinoki-mon (Sun Gate), the bettō turns back and proceeds to meet the procession at the north bridge of the Inui-mon (Northwestern Gate) of the main hall
(Marginal note: Below the azukari-beya [the custodians' room])
From there, all seven persons enter together through the West Gate. Next, the first and second sakaki are set upright to the left and right of the Tanao Shrine. The third, fourth, and fifth are set upright in a triangular arrangement on the lawn to the southeast (tatsumi) of the o-sho-ya (main shrine building). Then the inner doors are opened, the aoi offerings are presented, and the norito is recited. The head priest proceeds from the corridor to the Hafuri-ya. The lower-ranking four proceed from the small garden across the white sand. The hōri…
