English Translation

व्रतस्नातस्य an ascetic who had ceremonial bath having observed vows, विदितात्मनः knower of the self, विप्रस्य brahmin's, विद्या इव like the knowledge, अहम् I, वसुधापतेः of the lord of the earth, तस्यैव him alone, औपयिकी fit, भार्या wife.

English Commentary

"I am alone the lawful wife of the lord of the earth like the knowledge of the Vedas which rightfully belongs to a wise brahmin who has realised the self after having had his ceremonial bath (as a token of celibacy) and having observed strict vows during the period of his study.
