27. The August-Luck-Spirit-the-August-Wondrous-Spirit

1Thereupon the Deity Master-of-the-Great-Land lamented himself, and said: “How shall I alone be able to make this land? Together with what Deity can I make this land?” At this time there came a Deity illuminating the sea. This Deity said: “If thou wilt lay me to rest well, I can make it together with thee. If not, the land cannot be made.” Then the Deity Master-of-the-Great-Land said: “If that be so, what is the manner of reverently laying thee to rest?” He replied, saying: “Reverently worship me on Yamato’s green fence, the eastern mountain’s top.” This is the Deity who dwells on the top of Mount Mimoro.
