TENMON JITEN
Katakamuna Uta 57: Akaki Utsushi Ne
Scope: An English rendering of Katakamuna Uta 57, separated into transliteration, controlled literal gloss, and interpretive English.
Transliteration
Akaki Utsushi Ne — Kamumi Kara Yama Munashiki — Kehi Kokoro — Keshiki Utsushi Ne
Literal Gloss
Red fire-light enters the root of reflection. The latent divine body passes through the bodily vessel, rises like a mountain, and is laid in the open field of the chest. A heart of vital fire stands there, and bodily appearance becomes a reflecting root that shows inner fire-water outward.
Interpretive English
Uta 57 moves the restored heart into visible expression through red life-fire, divine body, chest-space, and reflected appearance. This remains a symbolic TENMON 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.
