Sukta 3
इदं त एकं पर ऊ त एकं तृतीयेन ज्योतिषा सं विशस्व । संवेशने तन्वा३ चारुरेधि प्रियो देवानां परमे सधस्थे
idáṃ te ékaṃ pará ū te ékaṃ tṛtī́yena jyótiṣā sáṃ viśasva | saṃvéśane tanvā̀ cā́rur edhi priyó devā́nāṃ paramé sadhásthe ||
This is one portion for thee, and yonder is one for thee: with a third light enter thou in full. In the entering-in, be fair in thine own person; be dear to the Gods in the highest seat of their assembly.
Rishi: Atharvanic tradition (funerary book); specific attribution varies.
Devata: Jyotis / Devāḥ (the Gods) as recipients/hosts; the departed as beneficiary.
