8:51, 52 Because the Moon and Sun can be seen from everywhere in the world, there is nothing in this world which the Moon and Sun does not know. I, Oyagami, shall in the same manner carefully discern all that you humans think and do and make the distinction between good and bad.

『おふでさき註釈』、p. 136 五一、五二、月日は、世界どこからでも拝めるものであるから、世界中のことは意かな事でも知らぬという事はない。それと同じく、親神は人間の思う事をよく見定めて、善と悪とを区別する。
