1. As the-soul with the soul's desires swiftly to a distance flies, thus do thou, O cough, fly forth along the soul's course of flight! 2. As a well-sharpened arrow swiftly to a distance flies, thus do thou, O cough, fly forth along the expanse of the earth! 3. As the rays of the sun swiftly to a distance fly, thus do thou, O cough, fly forth along the flood of the sea!
