vaktrāṇi

अमी च त्वां धृतराष्ट्रस्य पुत्राः सर्वे सहैवावनिपालसङ्घैः

vaktrāṇi — mouths

And there the sons of Dhritarashtra, all of them, with the hosts of kings, and Bhishma and Drona and Karna too, and the chief warriors of our own side,

वक्त्राणि ते त्वरमाणा विशन्ति दंष्ट्राकरालानि भयानकानि

vaktrāṇi — mouths

rush into your mouths, terrible with their teeth and dreadful to see. Some hang caught between your teeth, their heads crushed to powder.

यथा नदीनां बहवोऽम्बुवेगाः समुद्रमेवाभिमुखाः द्रवन्ति

vaktrāṇi — mouths

As the many currents of rivers run toward the sea, so these heroes of the world of men enter your blazing mouths.

यथा प्रदीप्तं ज्वलनं पतङ्गा विशन्ति नाशाय समृद्धवेगाः

vaktrāṇi — mouths

As moths fly into a burning flame and perish, so these worlds rush into your mouths and perish.
