(O’ father) Depart, depart, by the former paths by which our forefathers have departed; there shall you behold the two devas Yama and the divine Varuṇa rejoicing in the Svadhā.
Be united with the Pitṛs, with Yama, and with the fulfilment of your wishes in the highest heaven; discarding iniquity, return to your abode, and unite yourself to a luminous body, (O’ father!)
Rigveda 10.14.7-8
