Others who regulate their diet offer life-breaths in each life-breath. All these are knowers of sacrifice, whose sins are destroyed through sacrifice.

Swami Sivananda

Swami Gambirananda

Follows the commentary of Shankara (Advaita).

All these know the meaning of sacrifices, and through sacrifices, their sins are eradicated. Those who subsist on the ambrosial food, the remnants of sacrifices, go to eternal Brahman.

Swami Adidevananda

Follows the commentary of Ramanuja (Vishishtadvaita).

. [Some sages] offer the prana into the apana; likewise, others offer the apana into the prana. Having controlled both the courses of the prana and apana, the same sages, with their desires fulfilled by the above activities, and with their food restricted, offer the pranas into pranas. All these persons know what sacrifices are and have their sins destroyed by them.

Dr. S. Sankaranarayan

Follows the commentary of Abhinavagupta (Kashmir Shaivism).

Others, controlling their diet, sacrifice their worldly life to the spiritual fire. All understand the principle of sacrifice, and by it their sins are washed away.

Shri Purohit Swami

दूसरे कितने ही प्राणायामके परायण हुए योगीलोग अपानमें प्राणका पूरक करके, प्राण और अपानकी गति रोककर फिर प्राणमें अपानका हवन करते हैं; तथा अन्य कितने ही नियमित आहार करनेवाले प्राणोंका प्राणोंमें हवन किया करते हैं। ये सभी साधक यज्ञोंद्वारा पापोंका नाश करनेवाले और यज्ञोंको जाननेवाले हैं।

Swami Ramsukhdas

दूसरे नियमित आहार करने वाले (साधक जन) प्राणों को प्राणों में हवन करते हैं। ये सभी यज्ञ को जानने वाले हैं, जिनके पाप यज्ञ के द्वारा नष्ट हो चुके हैं।
