Direct answer
Inari — Source lineage is implemented as a source-bounded source lineage guide. The inspected material supports only this scope: Explains the encyclopedia’s source conventions and version relationship to the 1994 Shinto jiten. Traces textual witnesses and multiple historical forms of Inari cult rather than presenting one static deity biography. The page retains this limit: A modern encyclopedia entry is not a primary text, shrine authority, or blanket account of living practice. The article is a modern scholarly synthesis. Textual variants, cult history, combination with other figures, and current practice remain separate propositions.
