ज्वालाभिरिव मालाभिररुणाभिः पयोमुखम् ।
खं गन्तुमिव सस्पन्दं शैलस्थमिव वाडवम् ॥ २० ॥

jvālābhiriva mālābhiraruṇābhiḥ payomukham |
khaṃ gantumiva saspandaṃ śailasthamiva vāḍavam || 20 ||

The lurid flame of wild fire on this mountain, seemed as the burning blaze of sacrificial fires, which are fed with clarified butter were rising to heaven. (Hence fire is styled the bearer of our offerings to the gods above—havya-vahana, because there is nothing on the earth except the flames of fire—that has the power of rising upwards, whence they are termed Urdha—jwalana—havir—bhujas.
