現代語訳

月には国王が斎戒して山海及び護国神の祭祀を挙行し、或いは官を遣わして行礼する。弁岳の神の名は祝祝といい、乃ち天孫氏の第二女である。神牆が四周を囲み、叢木は尤も攢密で、小門が内に拒して南向きである。門外には木亭が二所あり、左傍には小石塔及び石灯案が左右に各五つある。門内に入ると石磴が北に屈して東に向かい、数十の階級があって頂に至るが何もなく、石炉の上に香数十枝を炷くのみである。此れが本山神を祭る処である。木亭前の平地は方広で南向きに海が見え、東南方に一つの石炉があって香を炷き、海神を祭る処となっている。国中で凡そ叢木が蒙密で短垣が四周を囲み、小門が内に拒する者は皆「岳」と名づけ、中国の土地神の如く、村村に皆これがある。

【崇元寺先王廟】春秋二祭で、或いは親祭し、或いは官を遣わす。三日斎戒し、楽は倶に天孫太平歌を用い、祖宗の功徳、神霊の歴世綿遠の意を歌う。

【円覚寺】本宗の香火で、時祭・月祭《割注：蘭盆祭と名づく》があり、三日斎戒する。忌辰には特祭があり、朔望には茶を献ずる。天王寺・天界寺の礼も同じである。

英語訳

In these months, the king observes ritual purification and conducts sacrificial ceremonies for the mountain, sea, and protective deities of the nation, or dispatches officials to perform the rituals. The deity of Mount Ben is named Shukushuku, who is the second daughter of the Tenson clan. A sacred wall surrounds the area on all sides, with densely clustered trees, and a small gate facing south from within. Outside the gate are two wooden pavilions, with small stone pagodas and stone lamp stands on the left side, five on each side. Upon entering the gate, stone steps turn north then east, with dozens of steps leading to the summit where there is nothing but a stone brazier with dozens of incense sticks burning. This is the place for worshipping the main mountain deity. The flat ground in front of the wooden pavilions is square and spacious, facing south with a view of the sea, and to the southeast there is a stone brazier where incense is burned as a place for worshipping the sea deity. Throughout the country, wherever there are densely wooded areas surrounded by low walls with small inward-facing gates, these are all called "gaku" (sacred peaks), like the earth deities of China, and every village has them.

【Sogenji Temple - Former Kings' Shrine】Spring and autumn sacrifices are held, either with the king personally conducting them or dispatching officials. Three days of purification are observed, and the music used is exclusively the Tenson Taihei songs, singing of the virtues and merits of the ancestors and the enduring spiritual legacy through the ages.

【Engakuji Temple】For the main sect's incense offerings, there are seasonal sacrifices and monthly sacrifices 《Note: called Urabon Festival》, with three days of purification. On death anniversaries there are special sacrifices, and on new and full moons tea is offered. The rituals at Tenno-ji and Tenkai-ji temples are the same.
