Translation
Stambhamitra addresses the blazing Fire: “O tawny-eyed one, red-necked, dark-tracked Hutāśana! Go away by another route; release us and leave us behind, just as the sea leaves the houses on its shore.” The plea frames a moral appeal for restraint—asking a powerful force to withdraw and spare the vulnerable from indiscriminate harm.
