Sinsi (the Divine City) Celebration Revived in Budo

¹Thereupon, the sixty thousand people of the Hwanggung descent migrated [to Budo] and protected it [Budo].

²Shortly, they cut down the trees and made eighty thousand rafts.

³After engraving the trust symbol on them, they floated the rafts in the water of the Heavenly Lake (Cheonji).

⁴That was to invite all tribes of the Four Seas.

⁵All tribes obtained it and recognized the trust symbol in the raft.

⁶They arrived and gathered one after the other.

⁷Opening Sinsi (Divine City) grandiosely in the forest of bakdal trees, ⁸they conducted the Gut, cleansed their mind/heart, and observed the celestial phenomena.

⁹They traced the Lineage of Mago and clarified their tribal households.

¹⁰Based on the Music of the Heavenly Emblem, they complied their spoken and written languages.

¹¹They located and worshipped the North Star and [the stars of] the seven weekdays.

¹²Also they burnt sacrificial offerings on a flat boulder.

¹³At the assembly, they sang and praised the Music of the Heavenly Savior (Cheonung).

¹⁴All tribes unearthed the jade of seven treasures at the Bangho (Enclosed Gourd) Cave of Bangjang (Enclosed Sanctuary).

¹⁵Engraving the Heavenly Emblem on it, they named it the Sea Seal of Bangjang. ¹⁶And they returned after expelling and removing the seven disasters.

¹⁷ Thereafter, Sinsi (the Divine City) was surely held every ten years. ¹⁸Gradually, their spoken and written languages were assimilated.

¹⁹As the world used the unified measurement system, the human world was greatly harmonized.

²⁰The strongholds were built in the coastal regions.

²¹That was to venerate the Heavenly Emblem ²²and to have the emissaries of all tribes stay and reside in them.

²³For the forthcoming one thousand years, the moated strongholds (Seonghwang) flourished throughout all regions.
