For relief from sin and distress

The herbs whose king is Soma, numerous, of hundred-fold aspect (? vicakṣaṇa), impelled by Brihaspati—let them free us from distress.

English · William Dwight Whitney

Let them free me from that which comes from a curse, then also from that which is of Varuṇa, then from Yama's fetter, from all offense against the gods.

English · William Dwight Whitney

If (yát) with eye, with mind, and if with speech we have offended (upa-ṛ) waking, if sleeping, let Soma purify those things for us with svadhā́.
