यथा प्रदीप्तं ज्वलनं पतङ्गा विशन्ति नाशाय समृद्धवेगाः | तथैव नाशाय विशन्ति लोकास्- तवापि वक्त्राणि समृद्धवेगाः
yathā pradīptaṃ jvalanaṃ pataṅgā viśanti nāśāya samṛddhavegāḥ . tathaiva nāśāya viśanti lokāsa- tavāpi vaktrāṇi samṛddhavegāḥ
猶如飛蛾以極快的速度撲向熾熱的火焰以求毀滅，同樣地，眾生也以極快的速度湧入您的巨口以求毀滅。
As moths enter with increased haste into a glowing fire for destruction, in that very way do the creatures enter into Your mouths too, with increased hurry for destruction.
阿周那以飛蛾撲火為喻，進一步描述眾生如何不可避免地、快速地走向毀滅，進入世尊的宇宙形體之口。這象徵著時間與命運的無情力量。
