On the 27th day of the Gengzi, due to famine and epidemic diseases, a prayer was conducted. Envoys were dispatched to offer rites at 22 shrines. Due to a fire at the Hie Shrine on the 11th, the event was delayed. Dainagon Sukezane and others attended. From today, because of the epidemic, the "Ninnōkyō" (Sutra of Benevolent Kings) was recited for seven days at various shrines. On the 30th day of the Guimao, the "Ninnōkyō" was recited at Sendō, also as a prayer for the epidemic.
