Atharva Veda
To reach heaven
yad antarikṣaṃ pṛthivīm uta dyām yan mātaraṃ pitaraṃ vā jihiṃsima ayaṃ tasmād gārhapatyo no agnir ud in nayāti sukṛtasya lokam
To reach heaven
If (yát) atmosphere, earth, and sky, if father or mother we have injured (hiṅs), may this householder's-fire lead us up from that to the world of the well-done.
bhūmir mātāditir no janitraṃ bhrātāntarikṣam abhiśastyā naḥ dyaur naḥ pitā pitryācchaṃ bhavāti jāmim ṛtvā māva patsi lokāt
May mother earth, Aditi our birthplace, brother atmosphere, [save] us from imprecation; may our father heaven be weal to us from paternal [guilt]; having gone to my relatives (jāmí), let me not fall down from [their?] world.
yatrā suhārdaḥ sukṛto madanti vihāya rogaṃ tanvaḥ svāyāḥ aśloṇā aṅgair ahrutāḥ svarge tatra paśyema pitarau ca putrān
Where the well-hearted, the well-doing revel, having abandoned disease of their own selves, not lame with their limbs, undamaged in heaven (svargá)—there may we see [our] parents and sons.
