For relief from guilt or obligation

If (yát), not playing, I make debt, also, O Agni, promise (sam-gṛ) not intending to give, may Vāiçvānara, our best over-ruler, verily lead us up to the world of the well-done.

English · William Dwight Whitney

I make it known to Vāiçvānara, if [there is on my part] promise of debt to the deities; he knows how to unfasten all these bonds; so may we be united with what is cooked (pakvá).

English · William Dwight Whitney

Let Vāiçvānara the purifier purify me, if (yát) I run against a promise, an expectation (ācā́), not acknowledging, begging with my mind; what sin is therein, that I impel away.
