爾其克勵婉心，肅膺盛典，追皇、英之逸軌，庶任、姒之芳塵，褘翟有光，粢盛無怠，雖休勿休，以隆嘉祚。」 Diligently cultivate a gentle heart, reverently undertake the grand ceremony; follow the exalted tracks of Huangdi and Yingdi, approach the fragrant traces of Ren and Si; may your ceremonial robes shine, sacrificial grain never neglected—though at rest, do not rest, to elevate blessed fortune."
