Meaning -
We invocate the guests, who are delightful, free from ignorance, removers of sins, eaters of the food well cooked, and full of knowledge.
-
The householders should always serve the learned, delightful, and pious guests who are Atithis, i. e. , whose date of coming is not fixed. Griffith following Mahidhar puts this mantra in the mouth of the sacrificers wife, who is first called upon to confess her infidelities, if she has been guilty of any and to declare the name or names of her lover or lovers. After confession or declaration of innocence, she is made to recite the text. This is humbug and sheer nonsense.
