1. Again in this august reign His Augustness Oho-biko was sent to the circuit of Koshi, and his son, His Augustness Take-nuna-kaha-wake, was sent to the twelve circuits to the eastward to quiet the unsubmissive people. Again Hiko-imasu was sent to the land of Taniha to slay Kugamimi-no-mikasa this is the name of a person. So when His Augustness Oho-biko was going away to the land of Koshi, a young girl wearing a loin-skirt stood on the Pass of Hera in Yamashiro, and sang, saying: "Now then! Oh Prince Mima-ki-iri! Oh Prince Mi-ma-ki-iri! Ignorant that they, to steal and slay one's life, cross backwards and forwards by the back-door, cross backwards and forwards by the front door and spy, Oh, Prince Mima-ki-iri!"

2. Hereupon His Augustness Oho-kiko, thinking it strange, turned his horse back, and asked the young girl, saying: "These words that thou speakest, what are they?" The young girl replied, saying: "I said nothing; I was only singing a song," and thereupon she suddenly vanished, none could see whither. So his Augustness Oho-biko returned up again to the capital and made a report of the matter to the Heavenly Sovereign, who replied and charged him saying: "Methinks this is a sign that my half-brother, King Take-hani-yasu, who dwells in the land of Yamashiro, is planning some foul plot. Do thou, uncle, raise an army, and go after him." When he forthwith sent him off, joining to him his Augustness Hiko-kuni-buku, ancestor of the Grandees of Wani, they set sacred jars on the Pass of Wani, and went away. Thereupon, when they reached the River Wakara in Yamashiro, King Take-hani-yasu, who had raised an army, was waiting to intercept their passage, and the two hosts stood confronting and challenging each other with the river between them. So the place was called by the name of Idomi, what is now called Idzumi. Then His Augustness Hiko-kuni-buku spoke, begging the other side to let fly the first arrow. Then King Take-hani-yasu shot, but could not strike. Thereupon, on his Augustness Kuni-buku shooting an arrow, it forthwith struck King Take-hani-yasu dead. So the whole army was routed, and fled in confusion. Then the Imperial troops pursued after the fugitive army as far as the ferry of Kusuba, when harassed by the pursuit, the enemy's excrement came forth and clung to their trousers. Wherefore that place was named Kusobakama. It is now called Kusu-ba. Again, on being intercepted in their flight and cut down, their bodies floated like cormorants in the river. So the river was called by the name of U-kaha. Again, because the warriors were cut to pieces, the place was called by the name of Hafuri-sono. Having thus finished the work of pacification, they went up to the capital to make their report to the Heavenly Sovereign.
