वेदपादो यूपदंष्ट्रः क्रतुहस्तश्चितीमुखः ।अग्निजिह्वो दर्भरोमा ब्रह्मशीर्षो महातपाः ॥
In plain words
The Vedas are his feet, the sacrificial posts his tusks, the rites his hands, the built-up fire-altar his face. Fire is his tongue, darbha grass his bristles, brahman his head — and the tapas in him is immense.
Close to the Sanskrit
Whose feet are the Vedas, whose tusks are the sacrificial posts, whose hands are the rites, whose face is the layered fire-altar; whose tongue is fire, whose bristles are darbha grass, whose head is brahman, whose austerity is vast.
