Library·Atharvaveda Saṃhitā (Śaunaka)·6·6.117
अपमित्यम् अप्रतीत्तं यद् अस्मि यमस्य येन बलिना चरामि । इदं तद् अग्ने अनृणो भवामि त्वं पाशान् विचृतं वेत्थ सर्वान् ॥१॥
apamityam apratīttaṃ yad asmi yamasya yena balinā carāmi | idaṃ tad agne anṛṇo bhavāmi tvaṃ pāśān vicṛtaṃ vettha sarvān ||1||
What I eat (?) that is borrowed, that is not given back; with what tribute of Yama I go about—now, O Agni, I become guiltless (anṛṇá) as to that; thou knowest how to unfasten all fetters.
Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
इहैव सन्तः प्रति दद्म एनज् जीवा जीवेभ्यो नि हराम एनत् । अपमित्य धान्यं यज् जघसाहम् इदं तद् अग्ने अनृणो भवामि ॥२॥
ihaiva santaḥ prati dadma enaj jīvā jīvebhyo ni harāma enat | apamitya dhānyaṃ yaj jaghasāham idaṃ tad agne anṛṇo bhavāmi ||2||
Being just here we give it back; living, we pay it in (ni-hṛ) for the living; what grain I have devoured having borrowed [it], now, O Agni, I become guiltless as to that.
Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
अनृणा अस्मिन्न् अनृणाः परस्मिन् तृतीये लोके अनृणाः स्याम । ये देवयानाः पितृयाणश् च लोकाः सर्वान् पथो अनृणा आ क्षियेम ॥३॥
anṛṇā asminn anṛṇāḥ parasmin tṛtīye loke anṛṇāḥ syāma | ye devayānāḥ pitṛyāṇaś ca lokāḥ sarvān patho anṛṇā ā kṣiyema ||3||
Guiltless in this [world], guiltless in the higher, guiltless in the third world may we be; the worlds traversed by the gods and traversed by the Fathers—all the roads may we abide in guiltless.
Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
