"Unknown Pheasant stood on a bough of a tree nearby the gate of Ameno-Wakahiko's palace and tried to find him.(「名無し雉は、天のわか彦の宮殿の門の側の木の大枝にとまって、天のわか彦を探そうとするんだ。」)"
"Then, Takami-Musubi dispatched a spy bird, Unknown Pheasant, to the Country of Tumo in order to scout about Ameno-Wakahiko.(「そこで、たかみむすび尊は、天のわか彦の様子を探らせようと、名無し雉を葦原中国(出雲)に遣わすんだ。」)"
"Ameno-Wakahiko married a grand-daughter of Prince Oonamuchi and obtained the status of the successor of Prince Oonamuchi. According to Kojiki, Ameno-Wakahiko was ambitious for usurping the Country of Tumo.(「天のわか彦は、おおなむち尊の孫娘を娶って、おおなむちの尊の後継者の地位を獲得するんだ。『古事記』によると、天のわか彦は、葦原中国を奪うつもりだったんだ。」)"
"Takami-Musubi bestowed the Heavenly Archery and the Heavenly Wing Arrow on Ameno-Wakahiko as the symbol of military might.(「たかみむすび尊は、天のわか彦に、天のかご弓と天の羽羽矢を授けるんだ。」)"
"Takami-Musubi assembled many deities in the heavenly land and discussed about whom they should dispatch to the Country of Tumo.(「たかみむすび尊は、高天原の神々を集めて、誰を葦原中津国(出雲)に遣わすべきかを相談するんだ。」)"
"But, Mikumano-Ushi, who accorded with his father, Ameno-Hohi's intention, also made friend with Prince Oonamuchi and did not return.(「でもね、三熊のうしも、その父の天のほひ尊の意向にしたがって、おおなむち尊となかよしになって、復命しないんだ。」)"
