One of this deity's offspring killed Nanaki, a sacred pheasant, with an arrow, which this deity promptly threw back down to earth, killing him. The largest shrine to this deity is torn down and rebuilt every 20 years, and its interior is thought to house the "eight-hand mirror," sacred to this deity.
