For relief from guilt

What that was Yama's the Kārshīvaṇas made, digging down in the beginning, food-acquiring, not with knowledge, that I make an oblation unto the king, Vivasvant's son; so let our food be sacrificial (yajñíya), rich in sweet.

English · William Dwight Whitney

Vivasvant's son shall make [us] an apportionment; having a portion of sweet, he shall unite [us] with sweet—whatever sin of [our] mother's, sent forth, hath come to us, or what [our] father, wronged,* hath done in wrath.

3
English · William Dwight Whitney

If from [our] mother or if from our father, forth from brother, from son, from thought (cétas), this sin hath come to [us]—as many Fathers as have fastened on (sac) us, of them all be the fury propitious [to us].
