The roll of great kings closes by pointing to their sheer countlessness: not hundreds or thousands, but tens of thousands and myriads. The very immensity of this multitude of the departed is a vivid lesson: countless mighty rulers have passed through the world and vanished. Remembering so vast a company of the dead is meant to sober the grieving mind and turn it away from attachment to the transient, toward the one who stands beyond number and beyond time — the Lord.
