The following morning on 26th, when Prince Oama was worshipping Amaterasu Omikami (the Sun Goddess) at the bank of Toho-gawa River in Asake-no-kori county, MICHI no Masuhito arrived and reported that "the prince kept at the checkpoint was neither Yamabe no Okimi (Prince Yamabe) or Ishikawa no Okimi (Prince Ishikawa), but Prince Otsu."
翌26日の朝、朝明郡の迹太川の岸で大海人皇子が天照大神を拝しているときに、路益人が来て「関で止められていたのは山部王・石川王ではなく、大津皇子だった」と報告した。
