In the "Record of Hakozakigu Shrine" by OE no Masafusa, however, this story is introduced differently: when Ama no Murakumo no Tsurugi Sword, which made many failed attempts to escape from Dogyo, is finally cornered, Hachimanshin (Shinto god of war), the locally-adjusted form of Amida Buddha, kicks Dogyo to death and seizes back Kusanagi no tsurugi (another name of Ama no Murakumo no Tsurugi Sword).
これも、大江匡房の『筥崎宮記』では、自ら道行から何度も逃げた天叢雲剣が逃げられなくなったとき、阿弥陀如来の垂迹である八幡神が道行を蹴殺して草薙剣を奪い取ったことになっている。
