To Vāiçvānara etc.: for purification

Let Vāiçvānara (Agni) by his rays purify us, the wind, lively with mists (? nábhas), by his breath; let heaven-and-earth, rich in milk, righteous, worshipful, purify us by milk.

English · William Dwight Whitney

Take ye hold upon the pleasantness of Vāiçvānara, of which the regions are the smooth-backed bodies; with that, singing in joint revelings, may we be lords of wealth (pl.).

English · William Dwight Whitney

Take ye hold upon that (f.) of Vāiçvānara in order to splendor, becoming cleansed, clear, purifying; here, reveling in joint reveling with Iḍā, may we long see the sun going up.
