vahniḥ - the god of fire; vācā - with the organ of speech; mukham - the mouth; bheje - entered; na - not; udatiṣṭhat - did arise; tadā - then; virāṭ - the virāṭ-puruṣa; ghrāṇena - with the olfactory sense; nāsike - into His two nostrils; vāyuḥ - the god of the winds; na - not; udatiṣṭhat - did arise; tadā - then; virāṭ - the virāṭ-puruṣa.

The god of fire entered His mouth with the organ of speech, but the virāṭ-puruṣa could not be aroused. Then the god of wind entered His nostrils with the sense of smell, but still the virāṭ-puruṣa refused to be awakened.
