[Sect. CLXXII.—Emperor Mu-retsu.]

His Grandeur Wo-hatsuse-no-waka-sazaki dwelt in the palace of Namiki at Hatsuse, and ruled the Empire for eight years. This Heavenly Monarch had no august children. So the Wo-hatsuse Tribe was established as his august proxy. His august mausoleum is on the mount of Ihatsuki at Karawoka. On the death of this Heavenly Monarch there was no prince to inherit the Empire. So His Augustness Ohoda, the fifth descendant of the Heavenly Monarch Homuda, was sent for down to the land of Afumi, and married to her Augustness Tashiraka, and presented with the Empire.
