The transcription explains a ritual for purification called the Thunder Sakura purification. It involves seeking forgiveness from the sky and land, reciting prayers, and performing a minor and major cleansing. The ritual must be done before any sacrifices, exorcisms, blessings, or spell rites. The Thunder Sakura are branches that connect the Grand Shrine to other shrines and were created to cleanse the land. The purification must be done every sixty years to calm chaos and isolate defilement. The minor cleansing involves creating a barrier, sealing up filth, isolating root nodules, and suppressing the filth in five different places. The major cleansing involves retrieving wards and destroying barriers, then eradicating the filth with a powerful spell. The purpose of the major cleansing is to completely eradicate the filth. Seek first forgiveness from Narukame in the skies above, and then from Watasumi on the land below. Then recite prayers to quench the god's anger. The aforementioned ritual must be carried out before any sacrifices, exorcisms, blessings or spell rites can take place. The same holds true for this cleansing ritual. The Thunder Sakura were born from grafted Sacred Sakura branches. They are offshoots of Narukame's own spirit and connect the Grand Shrine to all others. In those days, catastrophe rocked the heavens and demons roamed the earth. The land was defiled, ferocious foes abounded, and small devils wreaked havoc. Thus the branches were broken off at the Grand Shrine and transplanted along the land to cleanse the filth. Years passed and damage accumulated. The cleansing ritual must thus be performed to calm the chaos. The Thunder Sakura purification must take place once every sixty years. The ritual may also be divided into a minor and major cleansing. After performing the minor cleansing a few times, the major cleansing must then be carried out. During the minor cleansing, one must first seek forgiveness from the sky and land. Tie up a shimanua to form a barrier and recite the Kashikomi. Next, all the filth must be sealed up inside the barrier and the poisoned root nodules must be isolated from any mortal dwelling. Finally, a ward must be used to suppress all the filth. This must be performed separately in five different places on Narokami Island. The purpose of this minor cleansing ritual is to isolate the defilement and thus procure some years of peace. During the major cleansing, one must first seek forgiveness from the sky and land. Then, five wards representing the eyes, the mouth, the nose, the hands, and the feet must be retrieved, destroying the barriers created by the minor cleansing in the process. The filth must then be eradicated by a powerful spell. The purpose of the major cleansing ritual is to wipe out the defilement and to completely eradicate the filth. This is the end of the summary. The details are as follows.
