Iki Kokoro — Ama Na He Sakaru — Momohi Kuni — Hetsu Nagisa Hiko — Hetsu Kahi Hera
Literal Gloss
The heart of living breath opens again and fire-water divides toward the heavenly name. A country of many fire-spirits appears; a fire-child stands at the near shore and its receptive membrane is pared and ordered. Mind becomes a gate joining heavenly name and shore.
Interpretive English
Uta 53 reactivates breath-mind, opens many fire functions, and repairs the near-shore boundary. The translation remains within the Japanese structural authority.
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.
