Translation

If our family has given charity to the proper persons, if we have performed ritualistic ceremonies and sacrifices, if we have properly carried out our occupational duties, and if we have been guided by learned brāhmaṇas, I wish, in exchange, that this brāhmaṇa be freed from the burning caused by the Sudarśana cakra.

Translation (Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura)

If our family has given charity to the proper persons, if we have performed sacrifices, if we have properly carried out our occupational duties, and if we have sheltered brāhmaṇas, may this brāhmaṇa be freed from the burning caused by Sudarśana. Seeing that the cakra would not give up pursuing Durvāsā, Ambarīṣa makes an oath. Vipra-devam means “if we are respectful to brāhmaṇas.”
