[Right Folio]
[The *azukari* (Custodian)] presents the sacred key (*on-kagi*). At this moment, the *hafuri* priest, while remaining seated, receives the sacred key, promptly straightens his knees, rises, advances before the sacred presence, and opens the sacred doors [all present shift their seats and prostrate themselves].
Next, the *kannushi* (Chief Priest) and the *hafuri* proceed into the Inner Sanctuary (*go-naijin*). Then, the *shō-negi* (Senior Negi) and *gon-negi* (Junior Negi) take their positions at the *ō-yuka* (Great Floor). Next, the *gon no hafuri* (Junior Hafuri) and the *Kataoka-negi* [take their positions]. Next, the *Kataoka-hafuri* and the *Kifune-negi* attend at the steps (*kizahashi*). Next, the *Kifune-hafuri* and the *Shingū-negi* attend at the base of the steps. Then, beginning with the *Shingū-hafuri* and the *Ōta-negi*, they take their seats in rows on the left and right of the steps in order of rank, with the *Ujigami-hafuri* (Ujigami shrine *hafuri*) and the *Shamu-dai* (Acting Shrine Administrator) at the end. Next, from the *negi* group, the sacred chopsticks (*on-hashi*), *toso* (spiced ceremonial sake), and all other divine offerings are presented. At this time, all from the *Shingū* and below down to the *Shamu-dai* shift their seats. The presentation of divine offerings is completed [at this time, the *Kifune-hafuri* of the *hafuri* group shifts his seat to the side of the *go-hai* pillar (拝柱, worship pillar), faces north, and removes the emptied trays (*kūban*)]. All return to their seats [the *Shingū-negi* remains, stationed at the side of the *go-hai* pillar, facing north to relay and remove the emptied trays from the *hafuri* group]. After the *hafuri* group's divine offerings have been presented, sacred sake is served from the *negi* side; the emptied trays are promptly placed in their designated position at the *hasami-kōran* (挟高欄, railing holder), and all return to their seats. Next, the *Shamu-dai* and *Ujigami-hafuri* advance, perform a single bow (*ippai*), and return to their original seats. All gradually return to their original seats.
During this interval, the *azukari* passes the sacred key to the *hafuri* priests from Kataoka and below. The *Kataoka-negi* proceeds directly to a designated sub-shrine (*bōsha*). Next, those from the *Shingū* and below rise from their seats and proceed to the same shrine. The *shō-negi*, *kannushi*, and *hafuri* take their places at the *Noritoya* (祝詞屋, Ritual Prayer Hall) [coming from outside]. Next, the *azukari* announces that the *Kataoka* ritual prayers (*norito*) have been completed. Of the *gokan* (五官, Five Officials), the two officials (*ryōkan*) of Kifune remain in their original seats; upon completing the recitation of the ritual prayers, they rise and proceed to Kifune Shrine. Next, the two officials of the *gon* (Junior) rank [follow].

[The two junior officials] remove the divine offerings from the Outer Sanctuary (*gejin*) [after the shrine priests (*shikan*) of Wakamiya and Shingū have returned to their stations]. Next, the *kannushi* and *hafuri* enter the Inner Sanctuary side by side. Then, the *negi* and *gon-negi* advance and attend at the *ō-yuka*. Next come the *gon no hafuri* and *Kataoka-negi*. Then, the *Kataoka-hafuri* and *Shingū-negi* attend on the left and right of the steps. Next, the *Wakamiya-negi* (◦or *Shingū-hafuri*) takes a seated position in rows on the *negi* side of the steps. Then, the junior *hafuri* [takes a position in the same section]. The *Shamu-dai*, when removing the offerings, does not follow in sequence but advances the emptied trays from the next seat. Next, the *hafuri* group's divine offerings are removed [however, when removing the *hafuri* group's offerings, the shrine officials (*shashi*) and *negi* on the steps do not participate; when removing the *negi* group's offerings, the *hafuri* group's shrine priests do not participate]. Once all the divine offerings from both left and right have been removed, the shrine priests (*shikan*) below the steps move to the *hafuri* group's *watadono* (渡殿, Connecting Gallery); as they pass through the central path (*seichū*), they perform a sideways bow (*ōyū*, 横揖). Then, the *go-fukusho* (御服所, Sacred Robe Office) attends at the *haiden* (拝殿, Oratory) of the Wakamiya [previously, a plain-wood chest (*shiraki karabits*u) had been carried by shrine attendants (*jinnin*) and placed at the designated location]. The *go-fukusho* presents the lid of the chest, and the relay of offerings (*tengu*) proceeds in order. At this time, the sacred vestments (*on-shōzoku*) are brought out from the Inner Sanctuary in three separate instances. The *go-fukusho* places these into the said chest, has the *jinnin* carry it, and withdraws from the shrine precincts.
The *Wakamiya-hafuri* advances to the *doi* (土居, earthen enclosure/embankment), performs a single bow, and withdraws to the *hafuri* side. Next, the *Wakamiya-negi* and *Shingū-hafuri*, then the *Kataoka-hafuri* and *Shingū-negi*, descend the steps and perform a single bow [withdrawing to the *hafuri* side]. Next, the *Kataoka-negi* and *gon no hafuri* do the same. Then, the *gon-negi* and *shō-negi* do likewise. Next, the *kannushi* and *hafuri* emerge from the Inner Sanctuary; the *kannushi* descends and withdraws to the *hafuri* side. Next, the *hafuri* closes the sacred doors [all prostrate themselves]. Next, the *azukari* receives and presents the lock wrapping (*sajō-tsutsumi*) [text continues].
