6.121.1
viṣā́ṇā pā́śān ví ṣyā́dhy asmád yá uttamā́ adhamā́ vāruṇā́ yé |
duṣvápnyaṃ duritáṃ ní ṣvāsmád átha gachema sukr̥tásya lokám ||1||
An untier, do thou untie off us the fetters that are highest, lowest, that are Varuṇa's; remove (nis-sū) from us evil-dreaming [and] difficulty; then may we go to the world of the well-done.
6.121.2
yád dā́ruṇi badhyáse yác ca rájjvāṃ yád bhū́myāṃ badhyáse yác ca vācā́ |
ayáṃ tásmād gā́rhapatyo no agnír úd ín nayāti sukr̥tásya lokám ||2||
If (yát) thou art bound in wood, and if in a rope; if thou art bound in the earth, and if by a spell (vā́c)—may this householder's-fire lead us up from that to the world of the well-done.
6.121.3
úd agātāṃ bhágavatī vicŕ̥tau nā́ma tā́rake |
préhā́mŕ̥tasya yachatāṃ práitu baddhakamócanam ||3||
Arisen are the two blessed stars named the Unfasteners; let them bestow here of immortality (amṛ́ta); let the releaser of the bound advance.
6.121.4
ví jihīṣva lokám kr̥ṇu bandhā́n muñcāsi báddhakam |
yónyā iva prácyuto gárbhaḥ patháḥ sárvām̐ ánu kṣiya ||4||
Go thou apart; make room; mayest thou free the bound one from the bond; like a young fallen out of the womb, do thou dwell along all roads.
