Sanskrit Original
मू॒रा अ॑मूर॒ न व॒यं चि॑कित्वो महि॒त्वम॑ग्ने॒ त्वम॒ङ्ग वि॑त्से । शये॑ व॒व्रिश्चर॑ति जि॒ह्वया॒दन्रे॑रि॒ह्यते॑ युव॒तिं वि॒श्पतिः॒ सन्
mūrā amūra na vayaṃ cikitvo mahitvamagne tvamaṅga vitse śaye vavriścarati jihvayādanrerihyate yuvatiṃ viśpatiḥ san
Fool, not unwise are we; O Agni, you desire greatness. He who lies down moves about with the tongue; the young woman, O lord of men, was taken.
We, who are perplexed, know not, O unperplexed, intelligent one, your greatness; but you, Agni, verilyknow it. Wearing a form he reposes; he moves about devouring (the offering) with his tongue (of flame); beinglord of men, he licks up the mixed oblation.
Foolish are we, O Wise and free from error: verily, Agni, thou dost know thy grandeur. There lies the form: he moves and licks, and swallows, and, as House-Lord, kisses the Youthful Maiden.
