Translation
Moreover, O Lord, the repetition of Your appearance is the desire for all kinds of initiation. Your neck is the place for three desires, and Your tusks are the result of initiation and the end of all desires. Your tongue is the prior activities of initiation, Your head is the fire without sacrifice as well as the fire of worship, and Your living forces are the aggregate of all desires.
Translation (Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura)
Dīkṣa sacrifice arose from your many appearances. Upasada sacrifice arose from your neck. The prāyaṇīiyā and udayanīya sacrifices arose from your teeth. The pravargya rites arose from your tongue. The satya and avasathya fires constituting kratu arose from your head. The piling of bricks arose from your five life airs.
Dīksā refers to sacrifices requiring special initiation. Anujamna is repeated appearances. The upasada (three special sacrifices) arose from your neck (śirodharam). Prāyaṇiyā means the sacrifice after the initiation. Udayanīyā is the final sacrifice. These arose from your teeth. Pravargya is a rite preceding the upasada sacrifice using a mahāvīra vessel. Satya is fire without performing sacrifice. Āvasathya is the domestic fire. They together form kratu. They arose from your head. Laying the bricks (citayaḥ) arose from your five life airs.
