English Translation (Griffith/Whitney)

Purifying: let Vaiśvānara with his rays purify us; let Wind, swift, with breath, with the sky-waters. Let Heaven and Earth, rich in milk, guardians of Order, worthy of sacrifice, purify us.

Translation

（净化颂）愿毗湿瓦那罗（Vaiśvānara）以其光线净化我们；愿风以气息迅疾而来，并以天之水净化。愿天与地，乳汁丰盈、秩序（ṛta）之守护者、堪受祭祀者，净化我们。
