Atharva Veda 6.84.3: Kanda 6, Anuvaka 9, Sukta 84, Mantra 3

Sukta 84

Sanskrit (Devanagari)

ए॒वो ष्व॑१स्मन्नि॑रृतेऽने॒हा त्वम॑य॒स्मया॒न् वि चृ॑ता बन्धपा॒शान्। य॒मो मह्यं॒ पुन॒रित् त्वां द॑दाति॒ तस्मै॑ य॒माय॒ नमो॑ अस्तु मृ॒त्यवे॑

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

ดังนี้แล้ว โอ นิรฤติ (Nirṛti) จงจากพวกเราไปเถิด; ขอท่านจงตัดให้ขาดซึ่งพันธนาการเหล็ก และบ่วงเชือกที่ผูกมัด. ยมะ (Yama) ย่อมมอบท่านคืนแก่ข้าพเจ้าอีกครั้งโดยแท้; ขอความนอบน้อมจงมีแด่ยมะนั้น—นอบน้อมแด่มฤตยู (Mṛtyu) คือความตาย.
