ayáṃ tásmād gā́rhapatyo no agnír úd ín nayāti sukr̥tásya lokám ||1||
If (yát) atmosphere, earth, and sky, if father or mother we have injured (hiṅs), may this householder's-fire lead us up from that to the world of the well-done.

bhū́mir mātā́ditir no janítraṃ bhrā́tāntárikṣam abhíśastyā naḥ |

May mother earth, Aditi our birthplace, brother atmosphere, [save] us from imprecation; may our father heaven be weal to us from paternal [guilt]; having gone to my relatives (jāmí), let me not fall down from [their?] world.
6.120.3
yátrā suhā́rdaḥ sukŕ̥to mádanti vihā́ya rógaṃ tanvàḥ svā́yāḥ |

Where the well-hearted, the well-doing revel, having abandoned disease of their own selves, not lame with their limbs, undamaged in heaven (svargá)—there may we see [our] parents and sons.
