Verse 3·VR 3.72.3

तत् शरीरम् कबन्धस्य घृत पिण्ड उपमम् महत् | मेदसा पच्यमानस्य मन्दम् दहति पावकः || ३-७२-३

tat shariiram kabandhasya ghR^ita piNDa upamam mahat | medasaa pacyamaanasya mandam dahati paavakaH || 3-72-3

Translation

That massy body of Kabandha is full with fat and while it is being cooked, it is in simile with a massy gob of ghee. But the Fire had to stew that body tardily, though that stewed meat is Fire's favourite dish, because of that body's massiveness. [3-72-3]
