Sanskrit recitationAtharva Veda 6.84.3
IAST Transliteration

evó u sú asmáṇ nírṛte ’nehā́ tvám ayasmayā́n ví cṛtā́ bandha-pāśā́n | yamó máhyaṃ púnar íd tvā́ṃ dadāti tásmai yamā́ya námo astu mṛtyáve

English Translation (Griffith/Whitney)

So then, O Nirṛti, depart from us: do thou asunder cut the iron bonds, the binding nooses. Yama doth verily give thee back again to me: to that Yama be reverence—reverence to Death.

Translation

Maka demikianlah, wahai Nirṛti, beredarlah daripada kami; engkau, belahkan dan putuskan ikatan-ikatan besi, jerat-jerat pengikat. Yama sesungguhnya mengembalikan engkau semula kepadaku; kepada Yama itu hendaklah ada sembah—sembah kepada Maut.
