TranslationOffering the sacred sake
Includes interpretation
We have purified the unhulled rice, ritually prepared the polished rice, and brewed this sacred sake, filling the vessel abundantly. With words of praise for the flourishing of heaven and the land, we present this honored sake. With the sound of ritual clapping made calm and peaceful, may the kami receive it in peace.
Editorial note
The exact senses of “Uni no hiraga” and “yahira-de” require further specialist review; this rendering does not fix a vessel type or a single prescribed number of claps.
