Kuniyuzuri

      The two deities, Hutunushi-no-kami and Takemikatuti-no-kami, descended from the Tkamanohara to the Izumo and pressed Ooanamuchi-no-kami to be subject to Ninigi-no-mikoto, the ground-son of Amaterasu-oomikami. They said to him, “Takamimusuhi-no-mikoto dispatched us in order to make Ninigi-no-mikoto reign over this nation. You should willingly concede your throne to him. Could you please reply to the question you would do or not?” This application must have been a sort of compulsion indeed.
