Atharva Veda 6.120

A prayer for pardon of sins and felicity hereafter

GriffithEnglish

If 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.

Earth 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.

There 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.
