May the broad-nosed dark-hued pair, the life stealers, the messengers of Yama who run in men’s wake, restore to us today a life of happiness, that we may live to see the sun!<\/p>\n
Rig Veda X, 14, 12<\/p>\n
[To the priests] For Yama press the Soma-juice, To Yama offer the sacrifice. Toward Yama it mounts, a perfect offering, with Agni as herald going before.<\/p>\n
Rig Veda X, 14, 13<\/p>\n
Present to Yama an offering rich in ghee; come forward and take your places. May he conduct us to the Gods, so that in their midst we may live forever!<\/p>\n
Rig Veda X, 14, 14<\/p>\n

He replied: Because, Your Majesty, I did not know its mouth. Janaka said: Fire is its mouth. If people put a large quantity of fuel into the fire, it is all burnt up. Similarly, a man who knows this, even if he commits a great many sins, consumes them all and becomes pure, clean and free from decay and death.<\/p>\n
