IAST Transliteration

yát cákṣuṣā mánasā yác ca vā́co'pā́rim jā́grato yát svapántaḥ | sómas tā́ni svadháyā naḥ punātu ||

English Translation (Griffith/Whitney)

What, by the eye, by the mind, and what by speech we have overpassed—what (we have done) waking, what sleeping—Soma, by his own sustaining might, let him cleanse those (sins) from us.

Translation

Apa yang telah kami lampaui dengan mata, dengan pikiran, dan apa yang (kami lampaui) melalui ucapan—apa yang (kami lakukan) ketika terjaga, apa ketika tidur—semoga Soma, dengan svadhā-nya sendiri (daya penopang sucinya), menyucikan semuanya itu dari kami.
