English Translation (Griffith/Whitney)

What Gods there be who dwell in heaven, and whatso dwell in mid-air; what mighty ones on earth are set and stationed—let these for us unloose from anguish and from sin.

Các thần linh nào ngự trên trời, các thần linh nào ngự trong trung không (antarikṣa); và những bậc hùng lực (śakra) nào an trú, đứng vững trên mặt đất—xin các vị hãy tháo gỡ cho chúng tôi khỏi khổ ách và tội lỗi (aṃhas).
