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.

We generally say 'Bhagwaan uski aatma ko shaanti de' means 'May God provide peace to his/her soul'. Since body is cremated and Soul cannot die, so the soul should have a positive/peaceful energy instead of negative/violent energy.

Namaste Shefali ji, according to my view, this phrase "aatma ko shaanti de" is semantic adoption of RIP. Modern Hindus have a total disconnect from their roots. They just copy the idea. Anyway, thanks for your time.

Swami Vivekananda mentions :

in Western language, a man gives up the ghost, but in our language a man gives up his body. (CW).

So people in the Western Coutries 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 given up 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)

We don't say "left the ghost". Rather the "ghost" leaves the body. But we also say "soul" all the time. In fact Christians constantly talk about souls and many consider the idea of ghosts as superstition

I concur that it is certainly not the case that Christians, at least, identify the body with the soul. In the west, Christians hold that the soul is one's "true being" and the body is merely a vessel. The difference with eastern religions arises as to what happens to the soul after death. Easterners frequently allow for the soul to continue here on Earth, often in another body (reincarnation). Christians hold that the soul goes elsewhere at death and never comes back to Earth. Judaism, interestingly, is famously ambiguous about what happens after death.
