Yajnavalkya, said he, when this liberated person dies, do his organs depart from him or not? No, replied Yajnavalkya, they merge in him only. The body swells, is inflated and in that state the dead body lies at rest.
Yajur Veda, Brihadaranyaka Upanishad III, II-Yajnavalkya and Artabhaga, 11
Whatever wrong we have committed, O Agni, waking or sleeping by ill will or hatred or cursing, remove it from us, whatever displeases you. Thrust it afar!
Atharva Veda VI, 45, 2
In whatever way we have sinned with our eyes or our minds or words, awake or asleep, may Soma by his own pure nature cleanse us!
Atharva Veda VI, 96, 3
Open yourself, create free space; release the bound one from his bonds! Like a newborn child, freed from the womb, be free to move on every path!
Atharva Veda VI, 121, 4
Any sin we have committed, consciously or unconsciously, deliver us from it, O Gods one and all!
Atharva Veda VI, 115, 1
