222 Again when they entered the salt sea, and suffered as they went, they sang, saying:

Again when [the bird] flew and perched on the seaside, they sang, saying:

These four Songs were all sung at [Yamato-take’s] august interment. So to the present day these Songs are sung at the great august interment of a Heavenly Sovereign. So [the bird], flew off from that country, and stopped at Shiki in the land of Kafuchi. So they made an august mausoleum there, and laid [Yamato-take] to rest.
