His Augustness Oho-yamato-tanashi-hiko-kuni-oshi-bito dwelt in the palace of Akidzushima at Muro in Kadzuraki, and ruled the Empire. This Heavenly Sovereign wedded his niece Her Augustness Princess Oshika, and begot august children: His Augustness Oho-kibi-no-moro-susumi, next His Augustness Oho-yamato-ne-ko-hiko-futo-ni (two Deities). So His Augustness Oho-yamato-ne-ko-hiko-futo-ni [was he who afterwards] ruled the Empire. The Heavenly Sovereign’s august years were one hundred and twenty-three. His august mausoleum is on the Mound of Tamade.
