Sukta 3
सं गच्छस्व पितृभिः सं यमेनेष्टापूर्तेन परमे व्योऽमन्। हित्वावद्यं पुनरस्तमेहि सं गच्छतां तन्वाऽ सुवर्चाः
sáṃ gácchasva pitṛ́bhiḥ sáṃ yaméneṣṭāpū́rtena paramé vyòman | hitvā́vadyáṃ púnar ástam éhi sáṃ gácchatāṃ tanvā̀ suvárcāḥ ||
Go thou in union with the Fathers, in union with Yama, with iṣṭa and pūrta, in the highest heaven. Leaving behind all blemish, come again unto thy home of rest: let the radiant self go forth in concord.
