6.117.1
apamítyam ápratīttaṃ yád ásmi yamásya yéna balínā cárāmi |
idáṃ tád agne anr̥ṇó bhavāmi tváṃ pā́śān vicŕ̥taṃ vettha sárvān ||1||
What I eat (?) that is borrowed, that is not given back; with what tribute of Yama I go about—now, O Agni, I become guiltless (anṛṇá) as to that; thou knowest how to unfasten all fetters.
6.117.2
iháivá sántaḥ práti dadma enaj jīvā́ jīvébhyo ní harāma enat |
apamítya dhānyàṃ yáj jaghásāhám idáṃ tád agne anr̥ṇó bhavāmi ||2||
Being just here we give it back; living, we pay it in (ni-hṛ) for the living; what grain I have devoured having borrowed [it], now, O Agni, I become guiltless as to that.
6.117.3
anr̥ṇā́ asmínn anr̥ṇā́ḥ párasmin tr̥tī́ye loké anr̥ṇā́ḥ syāma |
yé devayā́nāḥ pitr̥yā́ṇaś ca lokā́ḥ sárvān pathó anr̥ṇā́ ā́ kṣiyema ||3||
Guiltless in this [world], guiltless in the higher, guiltless in the third world may we be; the worlds traversed by the gods and traversed by the Fathers—all the roads may we abide in guiltless.
