A hard rock Grundgestalt

"Therefore did the 800 deities assemble a divine assembly in the bed of the Tranquil River of Heaven, and bid the deity Thought-In-cluder, child of the High-August-Producing-Wondrous deity, think of a plan, [...] taking the hard rocks of Heaven from the river-bed of the Tranquil River of Heaven, and taking the iron from the Heavenly Metal-Mountains, calling in the smith Ama-tsu-ma-ra"
