AV 19 14.1

इदम् उच्छ्रेयो ऽवसानम् आगां शिवे मे द्यावापृथिवी अभूताम् । असपत्नाः प्रदिशो मे भवन्तु न वै त्वा द्विष्मो अभयं नो अस्तु

idam ucchreyo 'vasānam āgāṃ śive me dyāvāpṛthivī abhūtām | asapatnāḥ pradiśo me bhavantu na vai tvā dviṣmo abhayaṃ no astu

I have come to this higher resting-place; heaven and earth have become kindly to me. Let the quarters be without rivals for me. We do not hate you—let there be no fear for us.

I have attained this goodliest place to rest in. Both Heaven and, Earth have shown me grace and favour. Without a foe for me be all the regions! We hate thee not. May we have peace and safety.
