Spiegazione

Krishna now moves inside the body. As Vaishvanara, the fire of digestion, he dwells in all living creatures, and working with the breaths called prāṇa and apāna he digests the four kinds of food, traditionally things chewed, swallowed, licked and sucked. The verse brings the divine into the most ordinary bodily process. Many readers take it as a reason to treat eating as a sacred act, an offering to the fire within, rather than mere consumption.
