Thinking, ‘They are praising with the trivṛt,’ Death ran back right toward the fifteen-fold, [thinking], ‘They will come right here next.’ Then the others stepped over to the seventeen-fold; they praised with the seventeen-fold. Thinking, ‘They are praising with the seventeen-fold,’ Death went around and stood by the twenty-one-fold, [thinking], ‘They will come here next.’ They came after him in the twenty-one-fold; they drove him away from there. He stepped up to the twenty-seven-fold. Then the others, having praised with the twenty-one-fold, praised again with the seventeen-fold itself.
