spective positions; vaca—by words; sva-amsena—by one’s own part;
vak tavyam—speeches; yaya—by which; asau—they ; pratipadyate—express.

TRANSLATION

Agni or heat separated from His mouth, and all the directors of
material affairs entered into it in their respective positions. By that energy
the living entity expresses himself in words.

PURPORT

The mouth of the gigantic universal form of the Lord is the source of
the speaking power. The director of the fire element is the controlling
deity or the adhidaiva. The speeches delivered are adhyatma, or bodily
functions, and the subject matter of the speeches is material productions,
or the adhibhuta principle.
