AI-written summary

Seoritsu-hime is a Shinto deity associated with purification, traditionally regarded as one of the kami who carries away impurities and sins through flowing water toward the sea. She appears in the Ōharae no Kotoba (Great Purification Prayer) as one of four purification deities invoked during rites of cleansing and exorcism. Devotees have long honored her in connection with rivers and waterways as part of misogi and other purification practices, though specific claims about her powers are rooted in ritual tradition rather than verifiable fact.
