Book 6: Hymn 117: A prayer for freedom from debt

Hymns of the Atharva Veda (Griffith) ยท 1 passage

1

1That which I eat, a debt which still is owing, the tribute due to Yama, which supports me, p. a255 Thereby may I be free from debt, O Agni. Thou knowest how to rend all bonds asunder. 2Still dwelling here we give again this present; we send it forth, the living from the living. Throwing away the grain whence I have eaten, thereby shall I be free from debt, O Agni. 3May we be free in this world and that yonder, in the third world may we be unindebted. May we, debt-free, abide in all the pathways, in all the worlds which Gods and Fathers visit.
