tat-varsa-purusah-the inhabitants of those tracts of land; rta-vrata-Rtavrata; satya-vrata-Satyavrata; dana-vrata-Danavrata; anuvrata-Anuvrata; namanah-having the four names; bhagavantam-the Supreme Personality of Godhead; vayu-atmakam-represented by the demigod Vayu; pranayama-by the practice of regulating the airs within the body; vidhuta-cleansed away; rajah-tamasah-whose passion and ignorance; parama-sublime; samadhina-by trance; yajante-they worship.
The inhabitants of those islands are also divided into four castes-Rtavrata, Satyavrata, Danavrata and Anuvrata-which exactly resemble brahmana, ksatriya, vaisya and sudra. They practice pranayama and mystic yoga, and in trance they worship the Supreme Lord in the form of Vayu.
