असत्यसन्धस्य सतः one who is inclined to untruth, चलस्य of a fickle man, अस्थिरचेतसः of an unsteady mind, देवाः gods, न प्रतीच्छन्ति will not accept, पितरः ancestors, इति thus, नः for us, श्रुतम् heard.

We have heard that the offerings of a man inclined to untruth, of an unstable and unsteady mind are accepted neither by the gods nor by the ancestors.
