English translation by Millichip:
I proclaim the edict which says: “Tell Princess Noto this as the words of the emperor.”I proclaim the imperial edict which says: “Tell her: ‘Hearing you had become exhausted over the months, I wondered when your illness would end and you would move on and my heart would also be at peace. Will it be today? Will it be tomorrow? While I was waiting, I heard – was it a lie? - that you had passed over, leaving me, me who is also aged, behind as if I looked away for a moment and I feel surprise and regret. If only I had known it would be so, I would have, even leaving my emotions, met and told you. How regrettable! How sad! I don’t know what to do! Your will cannot be forgotten for even a short time and I think it sad and yearn for [you] as I shed my divine tears. I raise your children to second-generation lords. Do not think it painful! The path you will pass over is safe and happy and trouble-free, you shall not worry about those you leave behind: shall cross peacefully’.”
