Literal Gloss

The returning current becomes calm and time and place are fixed. Fire-water shimmers in a high field; reflection of heavenly water deepens and expands. Latent Naohi corrects the current, living breath rests in the heavenly field, and swift reflection passes through the great sea-body and manifold waters before returning to latent heavenly water.

Interpretive English

Uta 69 stabilizes the return into time and place, corrects it through Naohi, and circulates breath and reflection from heaven through sea back to latent heavenly water. This is interpretive, not etymological proof.

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.
