Translation (Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura)

Raudrāśva had ten sons, named Ṛteyu, Kakṣeyu, Sthaṇḍileyu, Kṛteyuka, Jaleyu, Sannateyu, Dharmeyu, Satyeyu, Vrateyu and Vaneyu, born of the Apsarā Ghṛtācī. Of these ten sons, Vaneyu was the youngest. As the ten senses of the jīva are controlled by the main life air of the universe, these ten sons of Raudrāśva acted under Raudrāśva's full control. Raudrāśva had ten sons. Dharma-satya-vrateyavaḥ means Dharmeyu, Satyeyu, Vrateyu. Vaneyu was the youngest. Ghṛtācyām is in the locative but has a genitive meaning. They were like the ten senses of the jīva.
