The works of Ādi Śaṅkarācārya

Viṣṇusahasranāmastotram

Verse 559

वेदीस्कन्धो हविर्गन्धो हव्यकव्यातिवेगवान् ।प्राग्वंशकायो द्युतिमान्नानादीक्षाभिरर्चितः ॥

In plain words

The altar is his shoulder. The rising smoke of the offering is his scent. He runs at terrific speed, carrying havya to the gods and kavya to the ancestors. The sacrificial hall with its eastward beams is his body, and he blazes — and every kind of dīkṣā, every consecration ever undertaken, is worship offered to him.

Close to the Sanskrit

He whose shoulder is the altar, whose scent is the oblation, who is exceedingly swift with havya and kavya; whose body is the eastward-beamed sacrificial hall, who is radiant, who is worshipped by the many consecrations.
