The fire god and the death of Izanami迦具土神
1Izanagi weeps and buries Izanami
故尒伊耶那岐命詔之：「愛我那迩妹命乎！謂易子之一木乎！」乃匍匐御枕方、匍匐御足方而哭時，於御淚所成神，坐香山之畝尾木本，名泣澤女神。故其所神避之伊耶那美神者，葬出雲國与伯伎國堺比婆之山也。
Then Izanagi no Mikoto said, "My beloved sister! Have I traded you for a single child!"
As he crept to the place of her pillow and crept to the place of her feet and wept, a god came into being from his tears. She dwells at the foot of the tree at Uneo (畝尾) on Kaguyama (香山), and her name is Nakisawame no Kami (泣澤女神).
And Izanami no Kami, who had departed as a god, was buried on Mount Hiba (比婆之山), on the border of the land of Izumo (出雲國) and the land of Hahaki (伯伎國).

2The gods born from the sword — a passage set down twice in the base text
於是伊邪那岐命。拔所御佩之十拳劔斬其子迦具土神之頸。爾著其御刀前之血。走就湯津石村。所成神名石拆神。次根拆神。次石筒之男神。次著御刀本血亦走就湯津石村。所成神名。甕速日神。次樋速日神。次建御雷之男神。亦名建布都神。亦名豐布都神。次集御刀之手上血。自手俣漏出。所成神名。闇淤加美神。次闇御津羽神。 上件自石拆神以下。闇御津羽神以前。并八神者。因御刀所生之神者也。
Then Izanagi no Mikoto drew the ten-hand sword (十拳劍) that he wore and cut off the head of his child Kagutsuchi no Kami.
The blood on the point of the sword splashed onto the holy rocks, and the names of the gods that came into being are Iwasaku no Kami (石拆神), next Nesaku no Kami (根拆神), and next Iwatsutsunoo no Kami (石筒之男神).
Next the blood at the base of the sword also splashed onto the holy rocks, and the names of the gods that came into being are Mikahayahi no Kami (甕速日神), next Hihayahi no Kami (樋速日神), and next Takemikazuchinoo no Kami (建御雷之男神), whose other name is Takefutsu no Kami (建布都神), and whose other name again is Toyofutsu no Kami (豐布都神).
Next the blood gathered on the hilt of the sword leaked out between his fingers, and the names of the gods that came into being are Kuraokami no Kami (闇淤加美神) and next Kuramitsuha no Kami (闇御津羽神).
The eight gods above, from Iwasaku no Kami down to Kuramitsuha no Kami, are the gods born by means of the sword.
