English translation by Millichip:
I say in an imperial edict: I hear that the wise Emperor, too awesome to mention, who ruled the eight islands from the Kiyomibara palace in Asuka, having ordered and pacified the realm, divinely thought, ‘It is by combining ceremony and music that my making those of higher and lower rank unified and in their proper place and my making them calm with no disturbances shall be peaceful and long-lasting,’ and so he created and began this dance. I make the Imperial Princess learn and acquire this dance, as something that shall never cease, like heaven and earth, and shall be passed on for generations, and I offer [this performance] up to the Imperial mother [Genshō].
