In plain words

...the waters — [a broken opening in the source here]. 'This seed I take back. Let my vigor return, let my luster return, let my fortune return. Let the sacred fires settle again, each in its rightful place.' With ring finger and thumb he lifts it, and wipes it away between the breasts, or between the brows.

Close to the Sanskrit

— which the waters — [the source text is fragmentary at this opening]. 'This seed I take back; let vigor come back to me again, luster again, fortune again; let the fires again settle each in its own place' — with the ring finger and thumb, having taken it up, he should wipe it between the breasts, or between the eyebrows.
