Literal Gloss
Heavenly water is reflected in each true interval. Meeting spears establish a crossing axis of fire-water; the great Kamu of heavenly water flows in its order and the heavenly bridge joins. Heart, mountain-current, and human sight differentiate; receptive Musuhi and fire-root are ordered, a reflecting spirit-core is placed, and a fissure opens beyond breath and word-event.
Interpretive English
Uta 72 creates a crossing axis and bridge, then differentiates heart, mountain, sight, receptive Musuhi, and fire-root until a new opening appears. This is source-bound symbolic 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.
