There is also a theory regarding the origin of Ajisukitakahikone in which he and Amenowakahiko were originally defined as the same god from a description of their resemblance; and he symbolizes grains which wither in autumn and regrow in spring, or the sun which becomes lower in Winter and higher in Spring.
アメノワカヒコとそっくりであったとの記述から、元々アメノワカヒコと同一の神で、穀物が秋に枯れて春に再生する、または太陽が冬に力が弱まり春に復活する様子を表したものであるとする説もある。
