English: There is no widely accepted version of the legend because in each region the story continues differently.
Japanese: なお、浦島太郎のその後については文献や地方によって諸説あり、定説と呼ぶべきものはない。
English: This is the oldest extant piece of literature in which Urashima appears, and 'Article 477 during the reign of Emperor Yuryaku' in the "Nihonshoki" contains only the beginning of the story, in which Urashima went to Mt. Horai.
Japanese: 現存文献で浦島子の登場する最古の事例であり『日本書紀』「雄略天皇二477年条」で、蓬莱山へ行ったという発端部分だけが記載されている。

Japanese: ほぼ同時代に書かれた『日本書紀』『万葉集』にも記述が見られるが、『丹後国風土記』逸文が内容的に一番詳しい。
English: In the ninth volume of "Manyoshu" a long poem composed by TAKAHASHI no Mushimaro (poem 1740, 'a poem concerning Mizunoe no Ura Shimako') expresses the following, and which could be called a precursor of Urashima Taro.
Japanese: 『万葉集』巻九の高橋虫麻呂作の長歌（歌番号1740）に「詠水江浦嶋子一首」として、浦島太郎の原型というべき以下の内容が歌われている。
English: The name 'Urashima Taro' appeared in Medieval times, but before that the character was called 'Ura Shimako,' which was a shortened version of Mizunoe no ura no Shimako.
Japanese: 「浦島太郎」という名前は中世から登場し、それ以前は水江浦嶼子を略して「浦島子」と呼ばれている。
English: The short story in "Otogi zoshi," completed in the Muromachi Period, established the present text of 'Urashima Taro.'
Japanese: 「浦島太郎」として現在伝わる話の型が定まったのは、室町時代に成立した短編物語『御伽草子』による。
English: The motif of the turtle returning the favor in gratitude was established after "Otogi zosh,i" and moreover, Otohime, Ryugu-jo Castle, and the tamatebako (Urashima's casket) appeared in the Medieval period, and so the appearance of "Otogi zoshi" marked a considerable change in the tale of Urashima.
Japanese: 亀の恩返し（報恩）と言うモチーフを取るようになったのも『御伽草子』以降のことで、乙姫、竜宮城、玉手箱が登場するのも中世であり、『御伽草子』の出現は浦島物語にとって大きな変換点であった。

Japanese: 室町以降の『御伽草子』系の一部に浦島説話の変形版があり、以下のように結末を結ぶ。
English: According to one theory, a Noh play called 'Tsurukame' (Crane and Turtle), in which a turtle lived for ten thousand years, while a crane had a life of a thousand years, was created from this version of the story, and the custom of having a turtle or crane as a good luck charm spread as a result of this.
Japanese: 一説に、ここから「亀は万年の齢を経、鶴は千代をや重ぬらん」と謡う能楽の「鶴亀」などに受け継がれ、さらに、鶴亀を縁起物とする習俗がひろがったとする。
English: His son, Taro, happened to see a turtle being treated badly by children on the beach.
Japanese: その息子太郎は、亀が浜辺で子ども達にいじめられているところに出会う。
English: (The middle part is omitted as it is the same as the widely-known variation) Taro, who had become an old man, heard from a fisherman that his parents' grave was in Shirahata, Musashi Province.

Japanese: 昔、南風原町与那覇村に正直者の漁師が居て、ある日与那原町の浜で髢（かもじ。髪の毛）を拾った。
English: When three months had passed the fisherman began to miss home, and he was given a paper parcel by the girl, being warned not to open it.
Japanese: 三ヵ月ほど経つと漁師は故郷が恋しくなり、娘から紙包みを渡されるが「開けないように」と念を押される。
English: Before long the fisherman returned home to find that his neighborhood was completely changed, and he lived there for many years, equivalent to about thirty-three generations.
Japanese: やがて漁師が郷里に帰り着くと辺りは変わり果て、人間でおよそ三十三代かかるほどの年月が経っていた。
English: The fisherman opened the paper parcel, which he was not supposed to open, but inside there was only a bundle of kamoji.
Japanese: 漁師は開けるなと言われた紙包みを開いたが、中には髢が一束入っているのみ。
English: It is said that the local people paid their respects to the old man and made a grave, which was called Usan Nidaki.
Japanese: 地元の者が老爺に敬意を払い墓を建て祀ったのが、穏作根嶽（うさんにだき）であるという。
English: The behavior of Urashima Taro after he went to Ryugu-jo Castle was not appropriate for a children's story, so this part was changed when told to children.
Japanese: 竜宮城に行ってからの浦島太郎の行状は、子どもに話すにはふさわしくない内容が含まれているので、童話においてはこの部分は改変されている。
English: According to an interpretation of the story in "Tango no Kuni Fudoki," the main characters are a man of refinement called Ura Shimako and a beautiful woman in a world of supernatural beings.
Japanese: 『丹後国風土記』を基にして解釈すれば、主人公は風流な男である浦島子と神仙世界の美女である。
English: Their love was described erotically, and the story showed us a vivid contrast in the sense of time, three years in the supernatural world (Mt. Horai) being equivalent to three hundred years in the world of human beings.
Japanese: その二人の恋が官能的に描かれて異界（蓬莱山）と人間界との3年対300年という時間観念を鮮明に持つ。
English: The story does not end with the main character growing old and dying, but rather his body disappears from this world, which is like legends telling of Taoist immortals.
Japanese: 結末が老や死ではなく肉体が地上から消え去るという神仙的な尸解譚になっているのもそのためである。
English: According to a surviving fragment of "Tango no kuni Fudoki," the article was a compilation of works written by IYOBE no Umakai (one of the highest regarded family names) in Muraji.
Japanese: 『丹後国風土記』逸文によれば、その記事は連（むらじ）の伊預部馬養（いよべのうまかい）という人物が書いた作品を本にしたものである。
English: He was regarded as the greatest intellectual of the day, and was a scholar and government official in the late 7th century, selecting "Ritsuryo" (a kind of law), being involved in the compilation of history books, working as Kotaishigakushi (an official in charge of the education of the Crown Prince), and who left Chinese poems based on concepts of Taoist immortality in "Kaifuso" (Fond Recollections of Poetry).
Japanese: この人物は7世紀後半の学者官僚で『律令』選定、史書編纂に係わり皇太子学士を勤め、『壊風藻』に神仙思想を基にした漢詩を残す当代一級の知識人であった。
English: There is a great possibility that the original story of Urashima Monogatari in the 8th century, which can be seen in "Yuryaku-ki," "Tango no kuni Fudoki," and the ninth volume of "Manyoshu" among other sources, was written by IYOBE no Umakai as a bizarre novel based on concepts of Taoist immortality.
Japanese: 『雄略記』や『丹後国風土記』、『万葉集』「巻九」などに見られる8世紀の浦島物語の原話は伊預部馬養によって描かれた神仙伝奇小説であった可能性が大きい。
English: In the early Heian Period, people worshipped Ura Shimako at a shrine called Urashima Myojin in the Tango region, the setting of Urashima Monogatari.
Japanese: 平安時代になると浦島物語の舞台の丹後地方で、浦島明神という神社が浦島子を祀り人々の信仰を受けた。
English: After the 12th century, Urashima Monogatari appeared in books about waka poetry such as "Toshiyori Zuino" (Toshiyori's Poetic Essentials), "Ogisho," and "Waka domosho" (a waka handbook for beginners), and they were written in kana (the Japanese syllabaries), being widely read among nobles in the imperial court.
Japanese: 12世紀以降になると、『俊頼髄脳』をはじめ『奥儀抄』、『和歌童蒙抄』など歌論書に浦島物語が登場し、仮名で書かれ宮廷や貴族達の間に浦島物語が広く浸透した。
English: In the Medieval period, the 'Urashima Taro' from "Otogi zoshi" became a theme for picture scrolls, Noh plays, and Kyogen (a farce played during a Noh play cycle), and the story reached a much wider audience, becoming further popularized during the Edo Period.
Japanese: 中世になると、『御伽草子』の「浦島太郎」をはじめ絵巻・能・狂言の題材になり、読者・観客を得て大衆化していき、江戸時代に受け継がれた。

Japanese: 明治期には巌谷小波が前代の物語を恩返しに主眼を置いた子供向けの読み物に改作し、ダイジェスト版が明治43年から35年間、国定教科書の教材になり定着していった。
English: Apart from this story, there are no examples of stories which have a history spanning 1300 years, and appear in different forms in various works.
Japanese: 1300年もの長い歴史を持ち、各種の文献にさまざまな形で残された話は他に例がない。
English: Mt. Horai (or Ryugu-jo Castle) where Urashima Taro stayed, was a legendary mountain on which sennin (immortal mountain wizards) lived, and behind the story were concepts concerning Taoist immortality in which eternal youth and immortality were prized in ancient China.
Japanese: 浦島太郎がいた蓬莱山（竜宮城）とは仙人が住むという伝説の山であり、古代中国の不老不死を願う神仙思想が背景にあった。
English: It was an isolated island located at the far to the east, and the sennin lived there, knowing of the elixir of life.
Japanese: 海のかなたの東方に、仙人が住む孤島があり不老不死の薬があるという島である。
English: The concepts of Taoist immortality are connected to the doctrine of Yin and Yang and the Five Agents or Elements in ancient Chinese cosmology, and the five colors of the turtle in the tale were derived from this Five Elements Theory.
Japanese: 神仙思想は古代中国の陰陽五行説ともつながり、劇中登場する亀の色の五色も五行思想からきている。
English: Due to the content of the story, it is also regarded as a pornographic novel based on concepts of Taoist immortality written by an ancient Japanese court noble.
Japanese: またその内容から神仙思想を基にして古代日本の貴族が書いた官能小説ともとれる。
English: The main plot is quite similar to Urashima Monogatari; Yamasachihiko, the deity from which the Imperial family is descended, was put in a waterproof palanquin called 'Manashikatama' by the god Shiotsutsunooji and taken to Wadatsumi no miya (a palace of the tutelary deity of the sea), and there gets married to Toyotamahime, a daughter of Wadatsumi, and after spending three years there he returns home and breaks a taboo.
Japanese: その劇中、天皇の祖神、山幸彦が「塩土老翁」（しおつつのおじ）という神に「無目籠」（まなしかたま）という水の入らないかごに乗せられ、海神の宮（わだつみのみや）に行き、海神（わだつみ）の娘、豊玉姫（とよたまひめ）と結婚し3年間暮らし生まれ故郷に戻り禁（タブー）を破る話の大筋がそっくりである。
English: Also, according to "Rekishi-sho"(a history book), when the first Emperor Jinmu, a grandchild of Yamasachihiko, came to Yamato, a man with a fishing rod was riding on the back of a turtle.
Japanese: また『歴史書』に著される山幸彦の孫の初代神武天皇がヤマトに向かう際、亀に乗り釣竿を持った男が水先案内人になる場合がある。
English: "A Collection of Poetry" contains a description of a person called 'Suminoe,' who is considered to be a model for Urashima Taro, and who is still worshipped as Sumiyoshi Myojin, one of the Sumiyoshi Sanjin (Sumiyoshi three deities), in Sumiyoshi, Osaka.
Japanese: 浦島太郎のモデルとなったとされる人物として、『歌集』に「墨吉」（すみのえ）の人の記述があり、これは今も大阪の住吉にあり住吉三神に祭られている住吉三神の事である。
English: The model of this character, TAKENOUCHI no Sukune, lived to a great age (however, as they lived much longer than a human life span, it is taken to be fiction).
Japanese: そのモデルとされる武内宿禰も大変に長生きである（しかしながら人間の寿命をはるかに超越しているため多分にフィクションともとれる）。
English: The letters '老翁' (old man) are closely associated with Urashima Taro, who became an old man.
Japanese: 住吉明神から塩土老翁、「老翁」の字が老人になった浦島太郎にそっくりである。
English: Also, Shiotsutsunooji oversaw the descent to earth of the Sun-Goddess's grandson in the Yamato regal system, and it is said that he was a mysterious god that encouraged Emperor Jinmu's military expedition to the east.
Japanese: また塩土老翁はヤマト王権の天孫降臨を導びき、神武天皇の東征をうながした謎の神であるとされる。
English: TAKENOUCHI no Sukune is considered the founder of Omi, a powerful family in ancient times, and led Emperor Ojin's military expedition to the east.
Japanese: また武内宿禰は古代豪族、臣の祖とされ応神天皇の東征を導いたともされ、
English: Emperor Jinmu and Emperor Ojin took a similar route to the east, and there is a view that these two emperors could have been the same person.
Japanese: 神武東征と応神天皇の東征はルートも似ており神武と応神天皇も同一人物ではないかとの見方も見て取れる。
English: The Soga clan, who were at the height of their prosperity in the 7th century, had been the sole producers of green jadeite since the Jomon Period.
Japanese: 7世紀に全盛期を迎えた蘇我氏は、縄文時代から生産されてきた翡翠（硬玉）を独占的に生産していた。
English: Because green jadeite is brought from the bottom of the sea, it was considered to be sacred treasure given by the god of the sea.
Japanese: ヒスイは海底からもたらされるため海神からもたらされる神宝と考えられた。
English: A slight connection can be found with Urashima Taro in that the Soga clan had an obsession with green jadeite, or the sacred treasure in the sea.
Japanese: 蘇我氏が海の神宝ヒスイにこだわった所に浦島太郎とのかすかな接点が見出せる。
English: This may be the reason Yamasachihiko, who was quite similar to Urashima, was also given green jadeite by the god of the sea in the story.
Japanese: それがゆえか浦島そっくりな山幸彦も劇中で海神からヒスイをもらっている。
English: TAKENOUCHI no Sukune, the founder of the Soga clan, worked as a loyal subject to Emperor Jingu, the mother of Emperor Ojin, while Empress Jingu was strongly connected to the sea god of Toyo and created a stronghold at 'Toyura no miya.'
Japanese: 蘇我氏の祖の武内宿禰は応神天皇の母、神功皇后の忠臣として活躍し神功皇后はトヨの海の神と強く結ばれ「豊浦宮」（とゆらのみや）に拠点を構えた。
English: Because it was also called 'Toyo no minato no miya,' Empress Jingu was called Queen of Toyo.
Japanese: それは「トヨの港の宮」とも呼ばれ、そこから神功皇后はトヨの女王と呼ばれた。
English: It has been said that the origins of the Soga clan, their relationships with Empress Jingu, and relationships between Empress Jingu and TAKENOUCHI no Sukune can be worked out from the legend of Urashima Taro.
Japanese: 蘇我氏のルーツと神功皇后との係わり、神功皇后と武内宿禰の関係性が浦島太郎伝説から読み取れるともいえる。
English: According to a recent study conducted by Yuji SEKI, an author of historical novels, the fact that most of the ancient documents frequently mention Urashima particularly means that it can be interpreted that he was a significant, if shadowy, figure.
Japanese: 歴史作家・関裕二の最近の研究によると古代文書のことごとくが浦島に饒舌なのはこの人物の背後に歴史の闇の存在が指摘できるからであるという。
English: The "Nihonshoki" tells us that the story of Taro happened around the late 5th century, during the reign of Emperor Yuryaku, and 300 years later (in this case really 300 years), in the 8th century, he returned to his birthplace.
Japanese: 『日本書紀』は太郎を5世紀後半の雄略天皇のころの話であるといい、300年後（この場合は300年）の8世紀に生まれ故郷に戻るとある。
English: Around this period Emperor Yuryaku tried to carry out a project of reforms, aiming to create 'a powerful Imperial family,' and the Soga clan supported him, thus establishing their political power, however, later this political power was taken by the sudden rise to prominence of other court nobles.
Japanese: この時代、雄略天皇が改革事業を推し進め「強い天皇家」を目指し蘇我氏が補佐役として政権を築くが、後に勃興した貴族に政権を奪われてしまう。
English: It can be conjectured that the relevance of the 300 years in the Urashima Taro story reflects the period of time of Emperor Yuryaku's reforms and the ensuing difficulties.
Japanese: 浦島太郎の300年とは、雄略天皇の改革と蹉跌の時代であるとも推測できる。
English: It can be suggested that the legend of Urashima Taro reflects the psychological features of Japan very closely.
Japanese: 心理学的には、浦島太郎の伝説は非常に日本的な風土を表していると分析される。
English: In Western tales, the main character vanquished a dragon, saved a princess from captivity, and got married to her (see also the tales concerning Tiamat, the goddess in the ancient Babylonian myth, and the goddess Andromeda in the Greek myth).
Japanese: 西洋の説話では、竜退治囚われの姫を救出して結婚する、という筋書きになる（古代バビロニア神話の女神ティアマト、ギリシア神話のアンドロメダにまつわる物語を参照）。
English: In short, it means that a man becomes independent by driving away the influence of his mother.
Japanese: つまり、母親の影響を廃して男子は独立する、ということを意味するものである。
English: This indicates that men become adults without breaking from the influence of his mother, which is very typical way of a boy becoming a man in Japan.
Japanese: これは、男性が母親の影響を断ち切ることなく成人してしまう日本的なあり方を示しているというのである。
English: This shrine is located in an area noted in connection with a surviving fragment of "Tango no Kuni Fudoki," which is considered the oldest legend concerning Urashima.
Japanese: -浦島伝説の中では最も古いとされる『丹後国風土記』逸文ゆかりの地域にある。
English: On the Shonai Peninsula, there are many place-names based on the Urashima legend, such as Namari, where Taro was born, and Mt. Shiudeyama, the smoke from which rose from the casket in the tale.
Japanese: -荘内半島一帯には,太郎が生まれたという生里,箱から出た煙がかかった紫雲出山ほかたくさんの浦島伝説に基づく地名が点在している。
English: Nezame no Toko is said to be the place where Urashima Taro, just back from Ryugu-jo Castle, opened the casket, and Urashimado Shrine stands on a rock in the center.
Japanese: -寝覚の床は竜宮城から戻った浦島太郎が玉手箱を開けた場所といわれ,中央の岩の上には浦島堂が建つ。
English: There are two kinds of 'Urashima Taro' songs authorized by the Ministry of Education: 'Urashima Taro' published in "Yonen Shoka" (songs for little children) in 1900 (words by Kazusaburo ISHIHARA, music by Torazo TAMURA) and another 'Urashima Taro' published in "Jinjo Shogaku Shoka" (songs collected for common elementary education) in 1911 (words by Saburo Otsukotsu, music by a person unknown).
Japanese: 文部省唱歌「浦島太郎」は、1900年の『幼年唱歌』に掲載された「うらしまたろう」（作詞・石原和三郎、作曲・田村虎蔵）と、1911年の『尋常小学唱歌』に掲載された「浦島太郎」（作詞・乙骨三郎、作曲者不明）とがある。
English: The song, which is sung even today, is the "Jinjo Shogaku Shoka" version of 'Urashima Taro,' and begins with the words 'once upon a time Urashima was brought hither by the turtle he saved'.
Japanese: 現在でも歌われている「昔々浦島は助けた亀に連れられて」で始まる歌は、『尋常小学唱歌』の「浦島太郎」である。
English: According to the theory of relativity advocated by the physicist Albert Einstein, the elapsed time of objects in motion is relatively slower than that of objects at rest.
Japanese: 物理学者アルベルト・アインシュタインの相対性理論によれば、運動している物体の経過時間は、静止している物体の経過時間に比べて相対的に遅くなる。
English: This phenomenon is not observed in daily life, but when objects reach the velocity of light, it becomes more conspicuous; theoretically, time stops when it reaches the velocity of light.
Japanese: この現象は日常的には判らないが、光速に近づくと顕著になる（理論的には、光速に達すると時間は止まってしまうことになる）。
English: Therefore, people who are on a spacecraft reaching almost the speed of light enjoy space travel, and on returning to the earth they find that time passed on earth much faster than on the spacecraft, so the crew of the spacecraft feel as if they were Urashima Taro.
Japanese: そのため、光速に近い速度の宇宙船に乗って宇宙旅行をして帰還すると、地上では宇宙船での何倍もの時間が経過しており、宇宙船の乗組員は、さながら浦島太郎の様相を呈することのなる。
English: Several science-fiction writers, such as Aritsune TOYOTA, have made an interpretation of this story; Urashima Taro was caught by aliens, and brought to Ryugu-jo Castle (other planet) on the back of a turtle (spacecraft) at the velocity of light, therefore time passed in a different way to that on earth.
Japanese: 複数のSF作家（豊田有恒など）がこの話を浦島太郎が宇宙人に攫われ、亀（宇宙船）に乗って、竜宮城（異星）へ光速移動したために地球との時間の進み方にずれが生じたとする解釈を提示している。
English: Compared to Urashima Taro, who returned home from Ryugu-jo Castle to find that his neighborhood had become a completely unfamiliar place, those who have been away for a long time and who return to their home to find that it has totally changed were called 'Ima Urashima' (Urashima of the present) in the past, and today 'the person is Urashima Taro' or 'the person is in a state of Urashima Taro' is used.
Japanese: 竜宮城から故郷に戻るとまったく見知らぬ土地になっていたという浦島太郎の立場になぞらえ、長い間離れていた所に久しぶりに戻ると別世界になっており面食らうことを、古くは「今浦島」現在では「浦島太郎である」「浦島太郎状態にある」などと言う。
English: The expression is used in a masochistic way about 'a person who has lived abroad and become ignorant of Japanese fashion or felt awkward,' 'a person who has just returned from his or her place of assignment and who gets confused by changes at the head office,' or 'a person who has been away from society and who doesn't know about current affairs or new technologies and feels that he or she has been left behind.'
Japanese: 「日本国外に住み日本の流行に疎くなったり違和感を覚えてしまう」「出向先から戻って本社の変貌ぶりにまごつく」「世間から離れていたために時事ニュースや新しい技術を知らず、時代に取り残されたと感じる」などの状態を自虐的に表現する際に用いる。
English: When a patient who has been forced into 'social hospitalization' in a mental hospital for a long period of time leaves the hospital, he or she sometimes experiences such troubles, so it is necessary for them to receive careful counseling and training when leaving the hospital.
Japanese: 精神病院に長期間社会的入院を強いられていた患者が、退院した場合このような困難を経験することがあり、退院の際には入念なカウンセリングとトレーニングを受ける必要がある。
English: Emperor Jinmu had already married Ahiratsuhime and had two children in Hyuga Province before his Tosei (eastern expedition); however, after conquering the Yamato region he sought to win over the local ruling families by marrying one of their daughters as his legitimate empress.
Japanese: 神武天皇は、東征以前の日向国ですでに吾平津姫を娶り子供も二人いたが、大和征服後、在地の豪族の娘を正妃とすることで、在地豪族を懐柔しようとした。
English: The marriage between Emperor Jinmu, a descendant of Amaterasu Omikami (the great sun goddess and head of all heavenly kami (kami: deity)), and Himetataraisuzuhime would reunite the branched genealogies of the line of heavenly kami and the line of earthly kami.
Japanese: 天照大神の子孫である神武天皇とヒメタタライスズヒメが結婚することで、天津神系と国津神系に分かれた系譜がまた1つに統合されることになる。
English: Himetataraisuzuhime was written as '比売多多良伊須気余理比売' (pronounced Himetataraisukeyorihime) and '富登多多良伊須岐比売' (pronounced Hototataraisukihime) as another name in "Kojiki" (The Records of Ancient Matters).
Japanese: 『古事記』では「比売多多良伊須気余理比売」（ヒメタタライスケヨリヒメ）と記し、別名、「富登多多良伊須岐比売」（ホトタタライスキヒメ）としている。
English: It is considered that the empress was from a clan which was involved in iron-making because 'Tatara' in the name of the empress was a device used in tatarabuki iron-making (a method of making iron by using a tatara (bellows)).
Japanese: 皇后の名の中にある「タタラ」とは、たたら吹き製鉄の時に用いられる道具であり、このことは、皇后の出身氏族が、製鉄と深い関係があったことを物語っていると考えられている。

English: Omononushi, having heard of Seyadatarahime's reputation as a great beauty, fell in love with her at first sight.
Japanese: 勢夜陀多良比売が美人であるという噂を耳にした大物主は、彼女に一目惚れした。
English: Omononushi transformed himself into a red arrow and floated downstream to strike Seyadatarahime in the hoto (genitals) just as she came to the stream to relieve herself.
Japanese: 大物主は赤い矢に姿を変え、勢夜陀多良比売が用を足しに来る頃を見計らって川の上流から流れて行き、彼女の下を流れていくときに、ほと（陰所）を突いた。
English: When she took the arrow to her room, the arrow turned back into Omononushi and he married her.
Japanese: 彼女がその矢を自分の部屋に持ち帰ると大物主は元の姿に戻り、二人は結ばれた。
English: The baby was called Hototataraisukihime since her mother had become pregnant with the baby as a result of being startled by being struck in the hoto; however, Hototataraisukihime was renamed to Himetataraisukeyorihime to eliminate "Hoto" from the original name.
Japanese: ホトを突かれてびっくりして生まれた子であるということでホトタタライスキヒメと名づけ、後に「ホト」を嫌ってヒメタタライスケヨリヒメに名を変えた。
English: "Nihon Shoki" Volume 6 Number 1 includes the description of '事代主神化爲八尋熊鰐 通三嶋溝樴姫 或云 玉櫛姫 而生兒 姫蹈鞴五十鈴姫命 是爲神日本磐余彦火火出見天皇之后也,' which means that Kotoshironushinokami had transformed himself into Yahirowani (eight-fathom shark) and paid frequent visits to Mishimanomizokuhihime, also known as Tamakushihime, and that Himetataraisuzuhime was born to the couple.
Japanese: 『日本書紀』第6の一書では「事代主神化爲八尋熊鰐通三嶋溝樴姫或云玉櫛姫而生兒姫蹈鞴五十鈴姫命是爲神日本磐余彦火火出見天皇之后也」とあり事代主神が八尋鰐と化し三嶋溝樴姫あるいは玉櫛姫のもとに通い、媛蹈鞴五十鈴媛命が生まれたという記述がある。
English: Also "Sendai Kuji Hongi" (The Fundamental Records of the Ancient Matters of Former Ages) Volume 4 Chigi Hongi includes the description of '都味齒八重事代主神 化八尋熊鰐 通三島溝杭女 活玉依姫 生一男一女(中略)妹 踏{韋備-イ}五十鈴姫命 此命 橿原原朝立為皇后 誕生二兒 即 神渟名耳天皇 綏靖 次産 八井耳命是也,' which is equivalent to the description in Nihon Shoki.
Japanese: なお『先代旧事本紀』巻4地祇本紀にも「都味齒八重事代主神化八尋熊鰐通三島溝杭女活玉依姬生一男一女（中略）妹踏韛五十鈴姬命此命橿原原朝立為皇后誕生二兒即神渟名耳天皇綏靖次產八井耳命是也」と同様記述がある。
