English translation by Millichip:
I proclaim, all of you hear the imperial edict which I now proclaim: “Today is the day we partake of the drinking feast of Naorai for Onie. However, the reason why the feast this time is more special than usual is that I have become a disciple of the Buddha and have humbly received the precepts of the Boddhisatva. So, thinking that above all I shall serve the three treasures of Buddha, next I shall show respect to the gods of the heavenly and earthly shrines and next I shall pity and make beautiful the imperial children, statesmen, and bureaucrats who serve me and the people of the world, I return [to the throne] and rule the world again. So I bestow [you] with imperial gifts so that you too will serve under me calmly and peacefully and, receive and relish the black and white sake, which the two provinces of Yuki and Saki have offered up, until your face turns a bright red, and leave receiving the sake offering I always bestow.”I proclaim, all of you hear the imperial edict which also proclaims: “People think that it is the gods that are not [to be touched] more so than the three treasures. However, when I looked at the sutras, it was all the Gods [who should] protect and revere the laws of the Buddha. So, with this, thinking that there would surely be no interferences when the priests and the laymen mix together and serve, I make that which fundamentally is to be avoided like that which is not to be avoided and partake in the Onie.”
