TENMON JITEN
Katakamuna Uta 44: Kamunagara
Scope: An English rendering of Katakamuna Uta 44, separated into transliteration, controlled literal gloss, and interpretive English.
Transliteration
Kamunagara — Ma no Hasu Tochi no Toki Okashi — Wazurai no Ushi Kasane Tsumi — Mekuru Ma no Chimata — Musuhi Nui — Katakamuna — Aki Kuhi no Ushi — Mukahi Mari — Tama Oki Sakaru — Oki Nagisa Hiko
Literal Gloss
Time is placed in the lotus-ground of the true center. Layers of affliction are recognized and circulated toward the central crossroads, where Musuhi stitches them together. Katakamuna returns affliction to generative order. A bright pillar faces and rounds; the spirit-core is set, differentiation grows, and a fire-child stands at the boundary of deep water and shore.
Interpretive English
Uta 44 does not reject suffering; it measures, circulates, and restitches it at the center so it can become a new spirit-core at the deep shore. This is a TENMON interpretive reading and not a medical, historical, or etymological fact 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.
