 220. O Kukona, whither art thou wandering

 Over there, returning secretly through the

 Shameless ! this trying to lose one's self 

 [You] could not be hid; it was all seen 

 By those companions who passed away 

 225. With my spirit-children from below.

bird. 

 You are a bird companion. 

 The man was a bird reared for the couch. 

 Nourished by the mind till domesticated.

 panionless. 

 Companion ! a companion increasing the
