In plain words
When Kāma’s body flew like a moth into the fire of Śiva’s eye, did the Lord seize his pair of quivers and plant them point-down before him as his own shins? The thought rises in the minds of the bowing gods. May that lovely pair of shins of the Lord of all destroy our sins.
Close to the Sanskrit
When the body of the god of love instantly went to moth-hood in the eye-fire, having taken his pair of quivers from him, placed downwards in front—is this that? Raising such doubt in the hearts of the assemblies of bowing immortals, may the lovely pair of shins of the lord of all destroy our sins.
