Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.
‘The altar, O Gautama, is man; the fuel the opened mouth, the smoke the breath, the light the tongue, the coals the eye, the sparks the ear. On that altar the Devas offer food. From that oblation rises seed.
