Atharva Veda: Book 6: Hymn 120: A prayer for pardon of sins and felicity hereafter
Hymns of the Atharva Veda, by Ralph T.H. Griffith, [1895]
1If we have injured Air, or Earth, or Heaven, if we have wronged
our Mother or our Father,
May Agni Gārhapatya here absolve us, and bear us up into the
world of virtue.
2Earth is our Mother, Aditi our birth-place: our brother Air save
us from imprecation!
Dyaus, Father, save us, from the world of Fathers! My world
not lost, may I approach my kindred.
3There where our virtuous friends, who left behind them their
bodily infirmities, are happy,
Free from distortion of the limbs and lameness, may we behold,
in heaven, our sons and parents.
