Rig Veda

His life hath been renewed and carried forward as two men, car-borne, by the skillful driver. One falls, then seeks the goal with quickened vigour. Let Nirriti depart to distant places.

Here is the psalm for wealth, and food, in plenty: let us do many deeds to bring us glory. All these our doings shall delight the singer. Let Nirriti depart to distant places.
abhī ṣv aryaḥ pauṃsyair bhavema dyaur na bhūmiṃ girayo nājrān tā no viśvāni jaritā ciketa parātaraṃ su nirṛtir jihītām
May we o'ercome our foes with acts of valour, as heaven is over earth, hills over lowlands. All these our deeds the singer hath considered. Let Nirriti depart to distant places.
mo ṣu ṇaḥ soma mṛtyave parā dāḥ paśyema nu sūryam uccarantam dyubhir hito jarimā sū no astu parātaraṃ su nirṛtir jihītām
Give us not up as prey to death, O Sorna still let us look upon the Sun arising. Let our old age with passing days be kindly. Let Nirriti depart to distant places.

O Asuniti, keep the soul within us, and make the days we have to live yet longer. Grant that we still may look upon the sunlight: strengthen thy body with the oil we bring thee.
asunīte punar asmāsu cakṣuḥ punaḥ prāṇam iha no dhehi bhogam jyok paśyema sūryam uccarantam anumate mṛḍayā naḥ svasti
Give us our sight again, O Asuniti, give us again our breath and our enjoyment. Long may we look upon the Sun uprising; O Anumati, favour thou and bless us.
punar no asum pṛthivī dadātu punar dyaur devī punar antarikṣam punar naḥ somas tanvaṃ dadātu punaḥ pūṣā pathyāṃ yā svastiḥ
May Earth restore to us our vital spirit, may Heaven the Goddess and mid-air restore it. May Soma give us once again our body, and Pushan show the Path of peace and comfort.
