O Agni, the abode of the enemies of the celestial, the fearful forest of Khandava, which at the request of the celestial you reduced to washes in the days of yorc has again been filled with numerous creatures. When you will eat the fat of all those creatures (now living in the Khandava), you will then regain your own nature.
पुरा देवनियोगेन यत् त्वया भस्मसात् कृतम्। आलयं देवशत्रूणां सुघोरं खाण्डवं वनम्॥ तत्र सर्वाणि सत्त्वानि निवसन्ति विभावसो। तेषां त्वं मेदसा तृप्तः प्रकृतिस्थो भविष्यसि॥
