devīrahasye śrī jvālāmukhi stavam

A hymn from the Devirahasya spoken by Bhairava, and it teaches a mantra without ever writing it down. Each verse describes a seed syllable by riddle, in the manner these tantric hymns use: the void mounted upon fire, spotless, attended by the left eye, joined with the moon and with the dot — and then says what happens to the one who holds that in mind. What is promised is speech. Even a mute has the goddess of speech standing in his mouth like the water of the river of the king of gods, prose and verse both, unchecked; and a dull man who repeats the seed she is fond of sleeps at ease in Indra's garden. The whole hymn is about eloquence rather than about fire, which is what the Jwalamukhi tradition is chiefly sought for by poets.
