। ॥ १२२ ॥
In plain words
A log, straight or bent, once the fire has burnt through it, becomes fire itself. So — can you still pick it up in your hand, even though the straight or bent shape is right there in front of you?
Close to the Sanskrit
Wood, straight or bent, burnt by fire, goes to the state of being real fire. Then what — is it graspable by hand, even while the straight or bent form is present?
