In plain words

He said, "He told us, 'They went where those go who perform the horse sacrifice.'" "And where do those go who perform the horse sacrifice?" "This world is as wide as thirty-two days of the chariot of the gods. The earth surrounds it, twice as wide. The ocean surrounds the earth, twice as wide. Then there is a space as fine as the edge of a razor or the wing of a fly. Indra, becoming a falcon, gave them over to the wind; and the wind, holding them within itself, carried them where those were who had performed the horse sacrifice." Thus, as it were, he praised the wind. Therefore the wind is the separate and the wind is the aggregate. He who knows this conquers repeated death. Thereupon Bhujyu Lāhyāyani fell silent.
