# Atharva-Veda Samhita/Book VI/Hymn 117

117. For relief from guilt or debt.
[Kāuçika (anṛṇakāmaḥ).—āgneyam. trāiṣṭubham.]
Found also in Pāipp. xvi. The hymn ⌊not 1 cd, 2 cd⌋ occurs in TB. (iii. 7. 9$^{8-9}$), and parts of it elsewhere, see under the verses. ⌊For 1 and 3, see also v. Schroeder, Tübinger Kaṭha-hss., p. 70 and 61.⌋ Hymns 117-119 are used in Kāuç. (133. 1) in the rite in expiation of the portent of the burning of one's house; and Keç. (to Kāuç. 46. 36) quotes them as accompanying the satisfaction of a debt after the death of a creditor, by payment to his son or otherwise; the comm. gives (as part of the Kāuç. text) the pratīka of 117. ⌊For the whole anuvāka, see under h. 114.⌋ In Vāit. (24. 15), in the agniṣṭoma, h. 117 goes with the burning of the vedi.
Translated: Ludwig, p. 444; Griffith, i. 309.
1. What I eat (?) that is borrowed, that is not given back; with what tribute of Yama I go about—now, O Agni, I become guiltless (anṛṇá) as to that; thou knowest how to unfasten all fetters.
2. Being just here we give it back; living, we pay it in (ni-hṛ) for the living; what grain I have devoured having borrowed [it], now, O Agni, I become guiltless as to that.
With the first half-verse nearly agrees TB. (as above; also ĀpÇS., as above), which reads, however, tád yātayāmas for dadma enat. The comm. has dadhmas for dadmas in a; he explains ni harāmas by nitarāṁ niyamena vā ’pākurmaḥ. Ppp. has etat at end of a; in c, apamṛtyu again, also (c, d) jaghāsā agnir mā tasmād anṛṇaṁ kṛṇotu. Apamítyam in this verse also would be a more manageable form, as meaning 'what is to be measured (or exchanged) off,' i.e. in repayment. Jaghā́sa in our text is a misprint for -ghás-.
3. Guiltless in this [world], guiltless in the higher, guiltless in the third world may we be; the worlds traversed by the gods and traversed by the Fathers—all the roads may we abide in guiltless.
The verse is found in TB. (iii. 7. 9$^{8-9}$), TA. (ii. 15$^4$), and ĀpÇS. (xiii. 22. 5), with -miṅs tṛ- at junction of a and b (except in TB. as printed), with utá inserted before pitṛyā́ṇās and ca lokā́s omitted after it (thus rectifying the meter, of which the Anukr. ignores the irregularity), and with kṣīyema (bad) at the end. Anṛṇá means also 'free from debt or obligation'; there is no English word which (like German schuldlos) covers its whole sense. The comm. points out that it has here both a sacred and a profane meaning, applying to what one owes to his fellow-men, and what duties to the gods. Ppp. combines anṛṇā ’smin in a, and has the readings of TB. etc. in c, and adīma for ā kṣiyema at the end.

115. For relief from sin.
[Brahman.—vāiçvadevam. ānuṣṭubham.]
Found also in Pāipp. xvi. For the use of this hymn by Kāug., and in part by Vāit., with the preceding, see under that hymn; Vāit. has this one also alone in the āgrayaṇa iṣṭi (8. 7), with ii. 16. 2 and v. 24. 7; and vs. 3 appears (30. 23) in the sāutrāmaṇī́ next after hymn 114.
Translated: Ludwig, p. 443; Zimmer, p. 182 (vss. 2, 3); Grill, 46, 172; Griffith, i. 308; Bloomfield, 164, 529.
​1. If knowing, if unknowing, we have committed sins, do ye free us from that, O all gods, accordant.
The reading sajóṣasas at the end in our text is, though evidently preferable, hardly more than an emendation, since it is read only by our P.M.T.; SPP. gives sajoṣasas; the comm. takes the word as a nominative. With the verse may be compared VS. viii. 13 f (prose). The redundant syllable in a is ignored by the Anukr.
2. If waking, if sleeping, I sinful have committed sin, let what is and what is to be free me from that, as from a post (drupadá).
The verse nearly corresponds with one in TB. ii. 4. 4$^9$, which reads in a y. dívā y. náktam, ákarat at end of b, and muñcatuḥ (-tu?) at end of d. With a, b is to be compared VS. xx. 16 a, b, which has svápne for svapán, and, for b, énāṅsi cakṛmā́ vayám. Our svapán in a is an emendation for svápan, which all the authorities read, and which SPP. accepts in his text. The pada mss. mostly accent enasyáḥ in c (our D. has -àḥ, the true reading), and SPP. wrongly admits it in his pada text. The comm. explains drupada, doubtless correctly, by pādabandhanārtho drumaḥ.
3. Being freed as if from a post, as one that has sweated from filth on bathing, like sacrificial butter purified by a purifier—let all cleanse (çumbh) me of sin.
This verse is found in several Yajus texts: in VS. (xx. 20), TB. (ii. 4. 4$^9$), K. (xxxviii. 5), and MS. (iii. 11. 10). TB.MS. add íd after iva in a; in b, for snatvā́, VS. gives snātás, and MS. snātvī́; in d, TB.MS. read muñcantu for çumbhantu, while VS. reads (better) çundhantu and before it ā́pas instead of víçve; Ppp. reads viçvān muñcantu; and it further has sindhu for svinnas in b. This time the comm. gives kāṣṭhamayāt pādabandhanāt as equivalent of drupadāt. The Anukr. passes without notice the excess of syllables in a. ⌊The vs. occurs also TB. ii. 6. 6$^3$, with íd again, and with d as in VS. And the Calc. ed. of TB. prints both times svinná snātvó.⌋ ⌊As to çumbh, see BR. vii. 261 top.⌋

* ↑ 811. Kemble first inserted ‘wæs’ after ‘he.’ Heyne has: ‘(he wǣs fāg wið god),’ which appears to me a distinct enfeeblement of the MS. reading. Fāg comes at the beginning of a line in the MS., and Heyne says it cannot be settled whether or not wæs stood before it. This is very misleading. “There was no room for wæs before fag’ (Zupitza), as a glance at the facsimile suffices to show.
* ↑ 836. MS. defective at edge. Cf. l. 926.

# Bat Wing/Chapter XXXV

THIS shall be a brief afterword, for I have little else to say. As Madame had predicted, all antidotes and restoratives were of no avail. She had taken enough of some drug which she had evidently had in her possession for this very purpose to ensure that there should be no awakening, and although Dr. Rolleston was on the spot within half an hour, Madame de Stämer was already past human aid.
There are perhaps one or two details which may be of interest. For instance, as a result of the post-mortem examination of Colonel Menendez, no trace of disease was discovered in any of the organs, but from information supplied by his solicitors, Harley succeeded in tracing the Paris specialist to whom Madame de Stämer had referred; and he confirmed her statement in every particular. The disease, to which he gave some name which I have forgotten, was untraceable, he declared, by any means thus far known to science.
As we had anticipated, the bulk of Colonel Don Juan’s wealth he had bequeathed to Madame de Stämer, and she in turn had provided that all of which she might die possessed should be divided between certain charities and Val Beverley.
I thus found myself at the time when all these legal processes terminated engaged to marry a girl as wealthy ​as she was beautiful. Therefore, except for the many grim memories which it had left with me, nothing but personal good fortune resulted from my sojourn at Cray’s Folly, beneath the shadow of that Bat Wing which had had no existence outside the cunning imagination of Colonel Juan Menendez.

A Sequel
I saw again the spirits on a day, Where on the earth in mournful case they lay; Five porches were there, and a pool, and round, Huddling in blankets, strewn upon the ground, Tied-up and bandaged, weary, sore and spent, The maimed and halt, diseased and impotent.
For a great angel came, ’twas said, and stirred The pool at certain seasons, and the word Was, with this people of the sick, that they Who in the waters here their limbs should lay Before the motion on the surface ceased Should of their torment straightway be released. So with shrunk bodies and with heads down-dropt, Stretched on the steps, and at the pillars propt, Watching by day and listening through the night, They filled the place, a miserable sight.
And I beheld that on the stony floor He too, that spoke of duty once before, No otherwise than others here to-day, Foredone and sick and sadly muttering lay. ‘I know not, I will do what is it I would say? What was that word which once sufficed alone for all, Which now I seek in vain, and never can recall?’ And then, as weary of in vain renewing His question, thus his mournful thought pursuing, ‘I know not, I must do as other men are doing.’
