Atharva Veda 6.84

yasyās ta āsani ghore juhomy eṣāṃ baddhānām avasarjanāya kam bhūmir iti tvābhipramanvate janā nirṛtir iti tvāhaṃ pari veda sarvataḥ

For release from perdition

Thou in whose terrible mouth I make oblation, in order to the release of these bound ones; people think of thee as "earth"; I know thee completely as "perdition" (nírṛti).

bhūte haviṣmatī bhavaiṣa te bhāgo yo asmāsu muñcemān amūn enasaḥ svāhā

O earth (?), be thou rich in oblations; this is thy share which is in us; free these [and] those from sin: hail!

evo ṣv asman nirṛte 'nehā tvam ayasmayān vi cṛtā bandhapāśān yamo mahyaṃ punar it tvāṃ dadāti tasmai yamāya namo astu mṛtyave

So, O perdition, do thou, free from envy, kindly unfasten from us the bond-fetters of iron. Yama verily giveth thee back to me; to that Yama, to death, be homage.

ayasmaye drupade bedhiṣa ihābhihito mṛtyubhir ye sahasram yamena tvaṃ pitṛbhiḥ saṃvidāna uttamaṃ nākam adhi rohayemam

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