jihvā́ jyā́ bhávati kúlmalaṃ vā́ṅ nāḍīkā́ dántās tápasābhídigdhāḥ |
tébhir brahmā́ vidhyati devapīyū́n hr̥dbaláir dhánurbhir devájūtaiḥ ||8||
His tongue becomes a bow-string, his voice an [arrow-] neck, his teeth [become] shafts (nāḍīkā́) smeared with penance; with these the Brahman (brahmán) pierces the insulters of the gods, with bows having force from the heart [and] speeded by the gods.
