TENMON JITEN
Katakamuna Uta 51: Iki Kokoro
Scope: An English rendering of Katakamuna Uta 51, separated into transliteration, controlled literal gloss, and interpretive English.
Transliteration
Iki Kokoro — Awaki Ma Hara — Toki Okashi — Tokoro Chimata — Shi Wazurai no Ushi
Literal Gloss
The heart bears living breath. Subtle fire-water opens into the field of the true belly, where a sign of time is placed. Place contains crossroads and branching paths. Beneath bodily creases, surface pain, and affliction stands a governing fire-water core.
Interpretive English
Uta 51 locates suffering within breath, belly, time, place, and branching fire-water rather than treating it as an isolated object. This is a symbolic TENMON interpretation, not medical advice or etymological proof.
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.
