Literal Gloss
Heavenly water is invited, divided, welled, and held where needed to become a path. Rich latent accumulation is placed and subtle spirit-bearing receptive water stands. At the peaceful center fire-water divides, gathers, and wells; it runs toward the swift valley, becomes thunder-resonance, and joins the root of the heavenly spirit.
Interpretive English
Uta 65 leads centered fire-water through a controlled path into receptive spirit-water, valley current, thunder resonance, and the heavenly root. This is source-bounded interpretation.
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.
