At the new-moon the Pitris and at the fullmoon the Devas are fed through my mouth with the oblations are offered unto me. Being their mouths, how can I be the eater of all things?"
अमावास्यां हि पितरः पौर्णमास्यां हि देवताः। मन्मुखेनैव हूयन्ते भुञ्जते च हुतं हविः॥ सर्वभक्षः कथं त्वेषां भविष्यामि मुखं त्वहम्।
