As moths hurriedly rush into a blazing fire, leading to their own destruction, so too these creatures hurry into Your mouths, leading to their own destruction.

As moths hasten with increased speed into a blazing fire for destruction, so too do creatures hasten into Your mouths with increased speed for destruction.

Shri Purohit Swami

जैसे पतंगे मोहवश अपना नाश करनेके लिये बड़े वेगसे दौड़ते हुए प्रज्वलित अग्निमें प्रविष्ट होते हैं, ऐसे ही ये सब लोग भी मोहवश अपना नाश करनेके लिये बड़े वेगसे दौड़ते हुए आपके मुखोंमें प्रविष्ट हो रहे हैं।

Swami Ramsukhdas

जैसे पतंगे अपने नाश के लिए प्रज्वलित अग्नि में अतिवेग से प्रवेश करते हैं, वैसे ही ये लोग भी अपने नाश के लिए आपके मुखों में अतिवेग से प्रवेश करते हैं।

Swami Tejomayananda
