In Chapter 88, the watching narrator sees members of a group of four bind fallen stars and cast them into an abyss, while one gives a sword to the animals. The vision shifts toward confinement and mutual destruction as the beasts strike one another and the earth shakes.

  2. One gives a sword to the elephants, camels, and donkeys, which strike one another and shake the earth.
  3. One of the four hurls stones from heaven, gathers the great stars with horse-like members, binds them, and casts them underground.
