brahma-hatyam—the sinful reaction for killing a brahmana;
anjalina —with folded hands; jagraha—assumed the responsibility for:
yat api—although; iSvarah—very powerful; sartvatsara-ante—after
one year; tat agham—that sinful reaction; bhiitanam—of the material
elements; sah—he; visuddhaye—for purification; bhimi—unto the
earth; ambu—water; druma—trees; yosidbhyah—and unto women:

TRANSLATION

Although Indra was so powerful that he could neutralize the sin-
ful reactions for killing a brahmana, he repentantly accepted the
burden of these reactions with folded hands. He suffered for one
year, and then to purify himself he distributed the reactions for
this sinful killing among the earth, water, trees and women.
