現代語訳
（小者を連れて行く。この小者は初乗の間から申し付けられる）待ち合わせは、晴天なら大田の芝で、雨天なら大田拝殿で待ち合わせをするべきである。
寛保二年の時は御造営のため、上下ともに普請方の者たちが詰めていたので、人別に小者を連れて行くべきかという評議もあったが、人別では大勢になって却って見苦しいこともあるだろう。または晴天なら諸太刀を持参してあの場所で着用すべきかという説もあったが、二十人の諸太刀を供二人では持ちきれないので、やはり朝参りと同様に草履・わらじが良いという結論になった。
一、四日に赤飯ができ次第、明日五日の馬上勝負が無事であることを祈願するため、当社並びに大田社・氏神社へ御酒・赤飯を献進する（ただし大田社・氏神社は随意とする）。その後、諸方へ赤飯を配り遣わす。御酒・干物・赤飯を献進する（洗米は不要）。
一、四日、明日五日の馬上勝負が無事であることを祈祷してもらうため、精進頭へ依頼を遣わすべきである。別に初穂米二升を持参して遣わすこと（赤飯も一緒に遣わすこと）。
一、四日、下鴨から下向した後、未の刻頃に神宮寺の鐘に従って菖蒲取りに参る。この時、ねじ鞭・菖蒲（取替の菖蒲二本、石入三十本、石入四十本）三色を持参すべきこと。
ただし、ねじ鞭は左方は左の腰に鞭の先が後ろになるように差し、右方は右の腰に同様に差すべきである。菖蒲も右方は右の脇に挟み抱え、左方は左の脇に挟み抱えて参加する。吹く時は左方は右の手で、右方は左の手で吹くべきである。
梶田の入口から奈良の鳥居のもとで、矢刀禰が黄衣で菖蒲を左右の脇に挟んで立っている。それぞれ手前の左右に任せて二本取る（ただしこの二本の菖蒲は持ち帰って結び、五日の乗尻の帯にするのである）。御所屋の北から西の階へ進み、縁側（北上西面）に列して社務代を待つ。二十人が順に列座する。
神幸の時に階を降り（各自平伏）、社務が頓宮勧請をした後、社務代の側に着座する。乗尻は南方西上北面に一番から左右と一列に蹲踞する。その儀式の順に左右両人ずつ参進して菖蒲を吹き、取り替えをするのである（頓宮へ参進し立砂の前で一拝、菖蒲を吹き、次に御簾の前へ進み寄って互いに双方から菖蒲を出し横に出して取り替える。次に一拝して退出、社務代へ歩きながら一揖し、本座に帰着。二十人が済むまで列席し、その後退散する）。二十人が済んだ後、二の...
英語訳
(Taking along servants. These servants are assigned from the initial riding period.) For the waiting place, if it is clear weather, wait at the lawn of Ōta; if it is rainy weather, wait at the Ōta worship hall.
During the second year of Kanpō era, due to the shrine reconstruction, both high and low-ranking construction workers were stationed there, so there was discussion about whether each person should bring a servant. However, with individual servants, there would be too many people and it might look unseemly. There was also a suggestion that if the weather was clear, various swords should be brought and worn at that location, but since two attendants could not carry twenty people's swords, it was concluded that grass sandals and straw sandals would be best, just as for morning worship.
On the 4th day, as soon as the red rice is ready, to pray for the safe completion of tomorrow's (5th day) mounted competition, offer sake and red rice to our shrine, Ōta Shrine, and the tutelary deity shrine (though offerings to Ōta Shrine and the tutelary deity shrine are optional). After that, distribute red rice to various places. Offer sake, dried foods, and red rice (washed rice is not necessary).
On the 4th day, to request prayers for the safe completion of tomorrow's (5th day) mounted competition, send a request to the head of purification practitioners. Separately, bring and send two shō of first-fruit rice (also send red rice together).
On the 4th day, after returning from Shimogamo, around the hour of the Sheep (2-4 PM), following the bell of Jingū-ji temple, go to collect iris. At this time, bring three types: twisted whips and iris (two replacement iris, thirty with stone weights, forty with stone weights).
However, for the twisted whips, the left side should insert it at the left waist with the whip's tip pointing backward, and the right side should do the same at the right waist. For the iris too, the right side should hold it tucked under the right arm, and the left side under the left arm. When blowing, the left side should use the right hand, and the right side should use the left hand.
From the entrance of Kajita to the base of Nara's torii gate, the arrow-sword bearer stands in yellow robes with iris tucked under both arms. Each person takes two iris according to their left or right position (these two iris are taken home to be tied and used as belts for the riders on the 5th day). Proceed from the north of the imperial residence to the western stairs, line up on the veranda (facing north-up, west-facing) and wait for the deputy shrine administrator. Twenty people sit in order.
During the divine procession, descend the stairs (everyone prostrates), and after the shrine administrator performs the temporary shrine invocation, sit beside the deputy shrine administrator. The riders crouch in a single line from first position, alternating left and right, facing south-west-up-north. In ceremonial order, two people at a time (left and right) advance to blow the iris and exchange them (advance to the temporary shrine, make one bow before the standing sand, blow the iris, then approach the front of the sacred curtain and mutually present iris from both sides, extending them horizontally for exchange. Then make one bow and withdraw, bow once to the deputy shrine administrator while walking, return to original seats. Remain seated until all twenty people finish, then disperse). After the twenty people finish, the second...
