Literal Gloss
Under the latent order, abundant storehouse-water divinity fills the field and receptive water dwells within. The heavenly spirit rounds toward its target as a central core and enters Katakamuna. Mountain-bodies face and revolve, one bearing sound; the water-belly divides and becomes a womb, while a great skewer of fire-water pierces and passes onward.
Interpretive English
Uta 41 refines thunder-force into stored water, heavenly spirit-core, opposing mountain forms, sound, womb, and a penetrating fire-water axis. The rendering follows the Japanese symbolic structure and asserts no external etymology.
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.
