Book 6: Hymn 116: A prayer for pardon of sin against mother, father, son, or brother

Hymns of the Atharva Veda (Griffith) · 1 passage

1

1The wealth which husbandmen aforetime, digging, like men who find their food with knowledge, buried, This to the King, Vivasvān's son, I offer, Sweet be our food and fit for sacrificing! 2May he, Vaivasvata, prepare our portion; May he whose share is mead with mead besprinkle. Our sin in hasty mood against our mother, or guilt whereby a sire is wronged and angered. 3Whether this sin into our heart hath entered regarding mother, father, son or brother, Auspicious be to us the zeal and spirit of all the fathers who are here among us.
