In a dream Takakuraji sees Amaterasu Omikami (the Sun Goddess) and Takamimusubi ask Takemikazuchi no kami for his assistance in subduing the Central Land of Reed Plains, but Takemikazuchi no kami replies that 'rather than go myself, as I have the sword that subdued the country, if I can send it to the Central Land of the Reed Plains, that will suffice.'
高倉下の夢の中で、天照大神とタカミムスビが、葦原中国が騒がしいのでタケミカヅチを遣わそうとしたところ、建御雷神は「自分がいかなくとも、国を平定した剣があるのでそれを降せばよい」と述べた。
