up over his land . I sniff the wind of the east by its hair ;
"I lay hold upon the north wind by its (3) hair, I seize and
"hold fast to the west wind by its body, and I go round about
"heaven on its four sides ; I lay hold upon the south wind by
"(4) its eve, and I bestow air upon the venerable beings [who
"are in the underworld] along with the eating of cakes .
