Whatever I may say, it is not from a human mind, but from the mind of Tsukihi.

Until now, whatever I may have said, you have taken My words as having mingled with human thoughts.

7:52, 53 Nothing I tell you is said from human thinking. Everything is said from the mind of Oyagami. Yet you doubt what Oyagami has said until now. No matter what I tell you, you believed that it was mixed with human thinking. See following note.

『おふでさき註釈』、p. 122 五二、五三、何事を説いて聞かすのも、決してそれは人間の思案で言うのではない。皆親神の心で言うのである。それに、今までは親神の説くところを疑うて、どんな事を説いて聞かしても、人間の思案が混じっているように思うていた。次歌註参照。
