Book 6: Hymn 117: A prayer for freedom from debt

HYMN CXVII

A prayer for freedom from debt

1That which I eat, a debt which still is owing, the tribute due to
Yama, which supports me, p. a255
Thereby may I be free from debt, O Agni. Thou knowest how
to rend all bonds asunder.
2Still dwelling here we give again this present; we send it forth,
the living from the living.
Throwing away the grain whence I have eaten, thereby shall I
be free from debt, O Agni.
3May we be free in this world and that yonder, in the third
world may we be unindebted.
May we, debt-free, abide in all the pathways, in all the worlds
which Gods and Fathers visit.
