Chapter 82
देवतानां मुखं वीर ज्वलनो5निलसारथि: । राजेन्द्र! तदनन्तर उत्तम प्रभासतीर्थमें जाय। वीर! उस तीर्थमें देवताओंके मुखस्वरूप भगवान् अग्निदेव, जिनके सारथि वायु हैं, सदा निवास करते हैं
devatānāṁ mukhaṁ vīra jvalano ’nila-sārathiḥ | rājendra! tad-anantaraṁ uttama-prabhāsa-tīrtheṁ yāhi | vīra! tasmin tīrthe devatānāṁ mukha-svarūpaḥ bhagavān agnidevaḥ, yasya sārathiḥ vāyuḥ, sadā nivāsati |
古拉斯底耶（Ghūlastya）说道：“勇士啊，阿耆尼（Agni）——炽燃的火神，以风神伐由（Vāyu）为御者——乃诸天之‘口’，因为供献皆由他而为诸神所受。诸王之王啊，此后当往至胜的普罗婆娑（Prabhāsa）圣渡。英勇者啊，在那提尔他（tīrtha）之中，常住着可敬的阿耆尼，他正是诸天之口的化身。”

Educational Q&A
Agni is described as the ‘mouth of the gods’ because offerings in sacrifice reach the deities through fire; the passage reinforces reverence for Vedic ritual order and the dharmic value of pilgrimage to sanctified places where divine presence is affirmed.
The speaker instructs the hero/king to proceed next to the sacred site Prabhāsa, explaining its greatness by noting that Agni—identified with the gods’ receiving mouth and attended by Vāyu as charioteer—abides there continually.
