7.5.2.41

tadyāḥ pañcadaśa pūrvāḥ | tā apasyā vajro vā āpo vajraḥ pañcadaśastasmāṃdyenāpo yantyapaiva tatra pāpmānaṃ ghnanti vajro haiva tasyārdhasya pāpmānamapahanti tasmādvarṣatyaprāvṛto vrajedayam me vajraḥ pāpmānamapahanaditi

Now the first fifteen are the Apasyâh,--water is a thunderbolt, and the thunderbolt is fifteenfold;--hence wherever the waters flow, there they destroy evil; and verily the thunderbolt destroys the evil of this place: hence, when it rains one should go about uncovered, thinking, 'May that thunderbolt remove evil from me!'

Julius Eggeling 1882, The Satapatha-Brahmana according to the Text of the Mâdhyandina School (SBE 12, 26, 41, 43, 44)
