From Michi no dai: Foundation of the Path 35:73

The phrase “Seeing this” refers to the fact that God discovered the “fish” and “serpent” and saw their human faces. It then occurred to God to create something to be called humankind and to delight in seeing humans live the Joyous Life. Such was the truly sincere or profound intention in the “mind of Tsukihi,” God the Parent.
