1. 9

    तस्य मध्ये महानग्निः विश्वार्चिः विश्वतो मुखः । सोऽग्रविभजंतिष्ठन् आहारं अजरः कविः ॥९॥

    In that space within the heart resides the Great Flaming Fire, undecaying, all-knowing, with tongues spread out in all directions, with faces turned everywhere, consuming food presented before it, and assimilating it unto itself.
