Atharva Veda 6.63

For some one's release from perdition (nírṛti)

The tie that the divine Nirṛti (perdition) bound upon thy neck, [and] that was unreleasable, that do I untie for thee, in order to long life (ā́yus), splendor, strength; do thou, quickened (pra-su), eat uninjurious (?) food.

Homage be to thee, O Nirṛti, thou of keen keenness; unfasten the bond-fetters of iron. Yama verily giveth thee back to me; to that Yama, to death, be homage.

Thou wast bound here to an iron post (drupadá), bridled with deaths that are a thousand. Do thou, in concord with Yama, with the Fathers, make this man ascend to the highest firmament.

Thou collectest together for thyself, O Agni, bull, all things from the foe (?); thou art kindled in the track of sacrifice (íḍ); do thou bring to us good things.
