49. Genealogies

1The Heavenly Sovereign Tarashi-naka-tsu-hiko dwelt at the palace of Toyora at Anado, and likewise at the palace of Kashihi in Tsukushi, and ruled the Empire. This Heavenly Sovereign wedded Her Augustness Oho-naka-tsu-hime, daughter of King Oho-ye, and begot august children: King Kagosaka and King Oshikuma (two Deities). Again he wedded Her Augustness Princess Okinaga-tarashi. This Empress gave birth to august children: His Augustness Homu-ya-wake, and next His Augustness Oho-tomo-wake, another name for whom was His Augustness Homuda-wake. The reason why this Heir Apparent was given the august name of His Augustness Oho-tomo-wake was that when first born, he had on his august arm [a protuberance of] flesh resembling an elbow-pad, whence the august name bestowed on him. By this it was known while he was in the womb that he would rule countries. In this august reign the granaries of Ahaji were established.
