BG 11.29

यथा प्रदीप्तं ज्वलनं पतङ्गाः
विशन्ति नाशाय समृद्धवेगाः
तथैव नाशाय विशन्ति लोकाः
तवापि वक्त्राणि समृद्धवेगाः

yathā pradīptaṃ jvalanaṃ pataṅgāḥ
viśanti nāśāya samṛddhavegāḥ
tathaiva nāśāya viśanti lokāḥ
tavāpi vaktrāṇi samṛddhavegāḥ

TRANSLATION

As moths rush swiftly into a blazing fire to their destruction, so do these men swiftly rush into Your mouths to meet their destruction.

PURPORT

These innumerable kings rush to their destruction in Your flaming mouths, even as many torrents of rivers flow towards the ocean and moths rush into a blazing fire.
