It seems that this paragraph should be significant for the governance of Japan from ancient to modern times. Because here the Sumera-mikoto expressed his conviction before people that he wished to establish good and reasonable systems for them, not for his personal or individual benefits, and to moralize people. He had no intention to be a cruel and oppressive conqueror, as most of whom had generally inclined to do, but to be a wise being as a descendant from deities in the heaven for welfare of people. We can point out that this basic policy included values of justice, benediction and something like the principle of rule of law.
