What should be said on the death of a Hindu, instead of RIP?
I am given to understand that religions like Christianity and Islam use the phrase RIP in relation to a dead person, so that he/she rests in his/her grave till the judgement day.
Since Hinduism has no such concept, what alternative to RIP should Hindus use (in accordance with scriptures/dharma) to offer wishes towards a dead person?

Something like "May you attain Moksha" might suite here (preferably in Sanskrit), as in Hindus "Moksha Prapti" is considered as the ultimate goal.

In the foreign countries, when a person dies, its said that he or she has left the ghost, So they identify the individual with the body of that individual which is buried. So there is the conecept of RIP.
The Hindus, when one dies, say that he or she has left the body (deha-tyAga). So they cremate or burn the body and then do the srAddha rituals for the peace of the soul. It is believed that srAddha ceremony, if properly done, pleases the pitris and the God and the departed soul is able to move to heaven and enjoy bliss there.There is the notion of rebirth also.
So there is no concept of RIP in hindu culture.
The substitute of the wishful word is 'SvadhA' which means
sweet libation, oblation to the Manes (sanskritdictionary.com)

Thanks for your time sir. Deha-tyAga is a fact. But rest-in-peace is a wish that people make for the deceased person. I was looking for substitute of that "wishful words".

'Let him/her go to heaven' (svarga). The ' Akshaya-Svarga-kamana' is there in the SrAddha also.

I don't know why I see so many people here saying that Christians or other foreigners think that a person is their body or don't believe in souls. It is a commonplace in Euro-USian culture that the soul leaves the body at death.
