By the way, both of mother and daughter, Seya-tatara-hime and Hime-tatara-isukeyori-hime, have a common part in their names, which is “tatara.” Until present time, several scholars have interpreted the meaning of “tatara,” because ancient names often inclined to signify something which expressed their origins or symbols.
Thereafter, Seya-tatara-hime picked the arrow up and laid it down on the floor of her room. To her surprise, the arrow suddenly transformed itself into a graceful youth. The youth, who was Oomono-nushi-no-kami indeed, proposed and married the beautiful lady. Thus, Seya-tatara-hime bored a daughter whose name was Hoto-tayara-isusuki-hime-no-mikoto a. k. a. Hime-tatara-isukeyori-hime. This is the reason why she was regarded as a daughter of a deity.
The story continues as follows; captivated by Seya-tatara-hime, Oomono-nushi-no-kami of Miwa [Koto-shiro-nushi-no-kami in the Chronicles of Japan] transformed himself into a crimson arrow and visited floating to her rest room. She was so surprised that she left there hurriedly.

The report of the marriage between the Sumera-mikoto and Hime-tatara-isuzu-hime-no-mikoto in the Kojiki began with the story of her mysterious birth. Oo-kume-no-mikoto explained the Sumera-mikoto that her mother, whose name was Seya-tatara-hime [Tama-gushi-hime in the Chronicles of Japan], was a daughter of Mishima-no-mizokui [Mishima-mizo-kui-mimi-no-kami in the Chronicles of Japan] and no less beautiful than her daughter. Until now, Mishima-no-mizokui has been dedicated in the Mizokui shrine in Mishima of Settu[Oosaka].
Oo-kume-no-mikoto informed the Sumera-mikoto concerning Hime-tatara-isuzu-hime-no-mikoto that there was a maiden who was called a daughter of the deity. We understand from this information that the reason why Hime-tatara-isuzu-hime was nominated for the empress was not only that she was beautiful, but also a sacred lady descended from deities.

According to the description of the Kojiki, the subject whom the Sumera-mikoto asked to search for candidates for the empress in future was Oo-kume-no-mikoto, who would have been a chief of the Kume-tribe. Moreover, the report of Oo-kume-no-mikoto to the Sumera-mikoto, that recommended Hime-tatara-isuzu-hime-no-mikoto, was rich in contents.

The reason why we suggested the marriage with Hime-tatara-isuzu-hime-no-mikoto meant something important in the history of Japan is that the editor of the Kojiki explained her origin more minutely than that of the Chronicles of Japan did. It forms a striking contrast that the latter stated the achievement of the Sumera-mikoto more fully than the former
