AI-written summary

Hayasuhime-no-Okami is a deity named in the Ōharae no Kotoba (Great Purification Prayer), a foundational Shinto liturgical text describing the ritual removal of sin and impurity. Within this mythic sequence, she is described as dwelling in the depths of the sea and consuming or dispersing the impurities that have been carried down by other deities in the purification process. Her role is documented primarily through this liturgical tradition rather than through independent shrine worship, situating her within the broader Shinto cosmology of purification and exorcism.
