Concerning this they say, 'If, in offering, he were to name them all, saying, "To such (a death) hail! To such (a death) hail!" he would make that manifold death his enemy, and would give himself over to Death.' Only one oblation he offers to one of them, with, 'To Death, hail!' for there is indeed but one Death in yonder world, even Hunger: it is him he wards off in yonder world.
