Section CXXXVII. Emperor In-giyō (Part I.—Genealogies)

His Augustness Wo-asa-dzu-ma-waku-go-no-sukune dwelt in the Palace of Toho-tsu-Asuka, and ruled the Empire. This Heavenly Sovereign wedded Her Augustness Osaka-no-oho-naka-tsu-hime, younger sister of King Oho-hodo, and begot august children: King Karu of Kinashi; next Nagata-no-oho-iratsume; next King Kuro-hiko of Sakahi; next His Augustness Anaho; next Karu-no-oho-iratsume, another name for whom is So-tohoshi-no-iratsume (the reason for her being given the august name of Queen So-tohoshi was that the refulgence of her person passed through her garments); next King Shiro-biko of Yatsuri; next His Augustness Oho-hatsuse; next Tachibana-no-oho-iratsume; next Sakami-no-iratsume (nine Deities). Altogether the Heavenly Sovereign’s august children [numbered] nine Deities (five Kings and four Queens). Of these nine Kings and Queens, His Augustness Anaho [was he who afterwards [ruled the Empire. Next his Augustness Oho-hatsuse ruled the Empire.
