6.118.1

yád dhástābhyāṃ cakr̥má kílbiṣāṇy akṣā́ṇāṃ gatnúm upalípsamānāḥ |
ugraṃpaśyé ugrajítau tád adyā́psarásāv ánu dattām r̥ṇáṃ naḥ ||1||

If (yát) with our hands we have done offenses, desiring to take up the course (?) of the dice, let the two Apsarases, fierce-(ugrá-)seeing, fierce-conquering, forgive today that guilt (ṛṇá) of ours.

William Dwight Whitney 1905, Atharva-Veda Saṃhitā (HOS 7–8)

6.118.2

úgraṃpaśye rā́ṣṭrabhr̥t kílbiṣāṇi yád akṣávr̥ttam ánu dattam na etát |
r̥ṇā́n no ná r̥ṇám értsamāno yamásya loké ádhirajjur ā́yat ||2||

O fierce-seeing one! realm-bearing one! [our] offenses, what happened at the dice—forgive ye that to us; may there not come in Yama's world one having a rope on, desiring to win from us debt (ṛṇá) from debt.

William Dwight Whitney 1905, Atharva-Veda Saṃhitā (HOS 7–8)

To whom [I owe] debt, whose wife I approach, to whom I go begging (yāc), O gods—let them not speak words superior to me; ye (two) Apsarases, wives of gods, take notice!
