AV 6 120.1
यद् अन्तरिक्षं पृथिवीम् उत द्याम् यन् मातरं पितरं वा जिहिंसिम । अयं तस्माद् गार्हपत्यो नो अग्निर् उद् इन् नयाति सुकृतस्य लोकम्
yad antarikṣaṃ pṛthivīm uta dyām yan mātaraṃ pitaraṃ vā jihiṃsima | ayaṃ tasmād gārhapatyo no agnir ud in nayāti sukṛtasya lokam
If we have done injury to the midspace, the earth, or the heaven, or to mother or to father — may this our household Agni lead (us) up from that to the world of the well-doing.

If we have injured Air, or Earth, or Heaven, if we have wronged our Mother or our Father, May Agni Gārhapatya here absolve us, and bear us up into the world of virtue.

AV 6 120.2
भूमिर् मातादितिर् नो जनित्रं भ्रातान्तरिक्षम् अभिशस्त्या नः । द्यौर् नः पिता पित्र्याच् छं भवाति जामिम् ऋत्वा माव पत्सि लोकात्
bhūmir mātāditir no janitraṃ bhrātāntarikṣam abhiśastyā naḥ | dyaur naḥ pitā pitryāc chaṃ bhavāti jāmim ṛtvā māva patsi lokāt
The earth is our mother, Aditi our birthplace, the midspace our brother — (keep us) from imprecation; heaven is our father — may there be weal from the paternal side; having reached (my) kin, may I not fall from (that) world.
