Atharva Veda 6.112

For expiation of overslaughing

Let not this one, O Agni, slay the oldest of them; protect him from uprooting; do thou, foreknowing, unfasten the bonds of the seizure (grā́hi); let all the gods assent to thee.

Do thou, O Agni, loosen up the bonds of them, the three with which they three were tied up; do thou, foreknowing, unfasten the bonds of the seizure; free all—father, son, mother.

With what bonds the overslaughed one is bound apart, applied and tied up on each limb—let them be released, for they are releasers; wipe off difficulties, O Pūshan, on the embryo-slayer.
