現代語訳
（前ページより続き）一人・神人等である。その行列は、まず神人五十人ほどが二行（ふたならび）。そのうち二人は黄衣の下に甲冑を帯して、神主の近くを左右に立って行く。上下の
《割書：二十一人・三人不足、ことわる故也》
杖突き三十人余、次いで田口の警固十八人を召し具して、後ろを押さえさせて来るのである。
一、今日は五官ともに着座なし。御料（ごりょう）は別当へ、面々が宿より取りに遣わす由である。神主一人は例のごとく神人が持って来る。
一、出仕の時分のこと。左の乗尻が湯屋前へ出られる時、神主は宿所を出る。この時分、何も行き合うことなし。着座のことは例のごとくで、記すに及ばない。十番の競馬が乗り終わり、神主・両階下の二人の乗尻・同じく浄衣着衆・別当・所司・大夫・目代に祝儀があり、事が了して退出する。神人は切芝辺にて暇乞いをする。
《割書：一本宛》
五月九日、ある人が語って云う。例年、五日の朝、神主より乗尻衆へ誦経（ずきょう）を遣わす。今度はその儀を知らずして遣わさなかった。毎年遣わすとのことである。然らば、乗尻より七日に「神事が無事に終わり、珍重である」旨の申し出があった。これはすなわち誦経への礼として、初乗り（はつのり）一人が参られた云々。誦経は代官衆にまで遣わす由である。
五月、貴布祢（きふね）参籠のこと 当月十日より参籠の用意をしていたところ、腹中の気（腹の病気）により延引する。十三日は卯の日で、仙洞（上皇）の御徳日（ごとくび）である。十四日は辰の日で、新院様の御徳日である。十二日に伝奏（てんそう）まで参り申し上げたところ、御留守ゆえ、十五日に参上して窺い申したところ、御祈祷のことがあるので、有来（ありきたり）のごとく御撫物（おなでもの）を申し出て御祈祷をすべき由、仰せにより参る。禁中の伝奏の御人は副わず。長橋御局（ながはしのつぼね）まで申し上げたところ、「今日は御出（おでまし）があるまじいか」との旨、御思案の上で誓（ちかい）を出され下さる。新院様より申し出して、次いで仙洞様へ参上する。藤木但馬が申される趣は、「今日は月蝕ゆえ、申し上げることはできない。明日参候するように」との由である。重ねて、「日月蝕の時はこのような儀は無用とすべき」旨を申され候。

[Continued from the previous page] — one person, and jinin (shrine attendants) and others. The procession is arranged as follows: first, approximately fifty jinin march in two columns. Of these, two wear armor (kaichū) beneath their yellow robes (kōe) and walk close to the head priest, standing to the left and right of him. Then come thirty-odd upper and lower staff bearing staffs (tsue),
《Marginal note: Twenty-one persons; three are absent, hence the explanation.》
followed by the Taguchi guard contingent of eighteen men brought along to cover the rear.
One note: Today, all five officials (gokan) do not take their seats (chakuza). The provisions (goryō) are sent by each individual from their lodging to be collected by the bettō (administrator). For the head priest alone, as per custom, the jinin brings (the provisions).
One note: Regarding the time of taking up duty: when the left jōri (jockey) comes out to the front of the bathhouse (yuya), the head priest departs from his lodging. At this time, there is no occasion for anyone to cross paths. The matter of taking seats is as per custom and need not be recorded here. After the ten rounds of the horse races are completed, a congratulatory ceremony (shūgi) is held for the head priest, both jōri from the left and right at the foot of the stairs, those present wearing purified robes (jōe), the bettō, shoshi, tayū, and mokudai. When proceedings are completed, they withdraw. The jinin take their leave at Kirishiba (the cut-grass area).
《Marginal note: One copy each.》
Ninth day of the fifth month: A certain person relates the following. In ordinary years, on the morning of the 5th day, the head priest sends sutra-recitation services (zukyō) to the jōri group. This time, being unaware of this practice, the services were not sent. It is said they are sent every year. Accordingly, on the 7th day, the jōri sent word expressing that "the sacred rites were concluded without incident, and this is greatly to be treasured." This was in fact their expression of thanks for the sutra recitation, and it is noted that one person from the first ride (hatsu-nori) came to pay respects. It is said that the sutra recitation is also sent to the daikan-shū (agents / deputies).
Fifth month — concerning the retreat (sanrō) at Kibune Shrine: Preparations had been made for a retreat beginning on the 10th of the current month, but this was delayed due to an abdominal ailment. The 13th is the day of the Hare (u), and it is the gotokubi (auspicious day) of the Sentō (Retired Emperor's palace). The 14th is the day of the Dragon (tatsu), and it is the gotokubi of the Shin'in-sama (the new Retired Emperor). On the 12th, a visit was made to the tensō (court liaison) to report the matter, but as they were absent, on the 15th another visit was made to inquire. It was conveyed that, as there were prayers (gokitō) to be performed, one should present an o-nadomono (a ritual object that is stroked / used in purification rites) as per established custom and carry out the prayers. In accordance with this instruction, a visit was made to the imperial palace (kinchū). The tensō's representative at the palace did not accompany. Reporting to the Nagahashi御局 (the Nagahashi Lady-in-waiting), she communicated that "his/her Majesty will likely not be going out today," and after deliberation, issued a pledge (chikai / written assurance) on the matter. After reporting from Shin'in-sama's side, a further visit was made to the Sentō-sama. Fujiki Tajima conveyed the following: "Today there is a lunar eclipse, and therefore it is not possible to report the matter. Please come again tomorrow." Furthermore, it was stated that "at times of solar or lunar eclipses, such matters should be considered unnecessary (i.e., suspended)."
