Source Authority and Review Boundary
The source authority for this translation is the published Japanese entry for Katakamuna Uta 80. Its canonical text, structural analysis, and evidence labels govern any discrepancy. This English rendering preserves the transliteration, literal gloss, and interpretive layer separately; it does not expand the Japanese authority’s claims.
Publication boundary: this page does not reproduce private research archives or the full text of rights-unverified modern materials. Historical, linguistic, and comparative statements retain the certainty limits of the Japanese authority.
Review disclosure: linguistically reviewed by TENMON AI under owner authorization; it is not represented as human-reviewed.

Literal Gloss
Within the human stands the reflecting root of heavenly water. Under the latent order, the sea opens into present and future, and the deepening world spreads in eight directions. Sea, heaven, and great sea reflect one another and each field settles. Deep water and turbidity are returned; bright reflection arises, what is governed is rightly differentiated, the heavenly spirit stands, and deep water returns once more.
Interpretive English
Uta 80 closes the cycle by establishing heavenly reflection in the human, circulating sea, heaven, present, future, and the eight directions, returning turbidity, differentiating the gathered whole, and raising the heavenly spirit before returning again to deep water. It is an ongoing integrative cycle in the TENMON reading, not historical-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.
