He (Arjuna) says:

Yathā pradīptam jvalanam patañgā viśanti nāśāya samrddha-vegāh
Tathaiva n&śāya viśanti lokās-tavāpi vaktrāni samrddha-vegah

29. As moths rush with precipitous speed into a blazing fire to perish, just so do these creatures also precipitately rush into Thy mouths only to perish.

As moths, winged creatures, rush with precipitous, very high speed into a blazing fire to perish, to be destroyed, just so do these creatures living beings, also precipitately rush into Thy mouths only to perish.
