Transliteration

Kamunagara — Ame no Kuhisa Mochi — Katakamuna — Kuni no Kuhisa Mochi — Oki Mitsuko Saki Kaze — Shinatsu Hiko — Ki no Kuku no Chi — Iya Misogi Michi — Oho Yamatsumi — Kayanu Hime — Tsuchi Iya Misogi

Literal Gloss

Under the latent order, pillars of heaven and country are maintained around Katakamuna. Three deep water-cores open through a cleaving wind; the fire-child of breath stands and tree-energy becomes a pillar. The way of purification deepens through great mountain, grass-field, and earth, making them places of cleansing.

Interpretive English

Uta 37 returns circulating water to the supports of heaven and land, opens it into wind and tree-life, and extends Misogi through mountain, field, and soil. Misogi is retained as a source concept; no external origin is asserted.

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.
