@Hitsuji Mamoru I'm not expert in this so I asked the Tamamo expert WaifuHunter from reddit to explain:

"She is basically a super OP being that was worshipped in many legends under different names. The hint is that Nasu kept letting Tamamo spamming references to Indian, Chinese and Japanese legends and he outright stated in Extra material book that her mythical costume is combination of Indian and Japanese motifs. In Shinto she is Amaterasu who is the god of all ruling over life, death, heaven, earth... In Shingon Buddhism she is the primordial buddha Dainichi Nyorai who is literally the Root. In Chinese legend she is either the god of leylines guarding Huang Di tomb who haunted Daji, or the mother of the 9 suns shot down by Houyi, or the Huxian goddess of Kunlun. In Indian legend she is a Dakini, a manifestation of Buddha. This syncretism is not exclusive to her because Nasuverse already did it several times. Sut Typhon = Yog Sothoth, Ares = Mars = alien god of war, Ishtar = Inanna, Indra = Gozu Tennou = Susanoo."
