Transliteration

Kamunagara — Ame Kuni Sacchi — Ame Kuni Sakiri — Iya Misogi Sane — Ame Kuni Kurato — Ohoma Hiko Hime — Iya Misogi Mari — Oho Ketsu Hime — Hi no Yaki — Hayao Hime — Iya Misogi Waku

Literal Gloss

Heaven and land receive blessing and earth-force, then are divided as purification is layered. Their storehouse gates open and close, giving fire-water measure. Masculine fire and feminine water stand in the great interval and are rounded through Misogi. Nourishing receptive water receives and releases; fire burns and transforms, while swift water circulates and completes the differentiating cleanse.

Interpretive English

Uta 38 extends purification into blessing, boundaries, storage, paired fire-water, nourishment, burning, and transformation. It preserves the Japanese ritual-structural boundary and makes no etymological claim.

Evidence Boundary

This English edition preserves the Japanese source’s distinction between canonical text, structural observation, TENMON interpretation, comparison, and unverified hypothesis. Sound correspondences are not presented as proof of historical etymology.
