| The reason why Amatsu kami sent Nakime to Ashihara no nakatsukuni was to ask Amenowakahiko why he did not come back even after eight years had passed, although he was told to pacify the violent gods in the country. |
そこで、天つ神は、ナキメに、アメノワカヒコに葦原中ッ国に遣わしたのは、其の国の荒ぶる神どもを平定せよと言ったのに、何故八年経ても帰ってこないのかを、聞くように命令した。 |
