Hymns of the Atharva-Veda (Bloomfield, SBE 42) ยท 1 passage

1

1. From the sins which knowingly or unknowingly we have committed, do ye, all gods, of one accord, release us! 2. If awake, or if asleep, to sin inclined, I have committed a sin, may what has been, and what shall be, as if from a wooden post, release me! 3. As one released from a wooden post, as one in a sweat by bathing (is cleansed) of filth, as ghee is clarified by the sieve, may all (the gods) clear me from sin!
