Before Ame no Mihashira no Mikoto and Kuni no Mihashira no Mikoto—also called Shinatsuhiko no Kami and Shinatsuhime no Kami—who are enshrined at Tachino in Tatsuta, Heguri District, Yamato Province, where the great pillars of the sanctuary stand firm: with care, reverence, and awe, I bow before them from afar.
