yád agnír ā́po ádahat pravíśya yátrā́kr̥ṇvan dharmadhŕ̥to námāṃsi |
tátra ta āhuḥ paramáṃ janítraṃ sá naḥ saṃvidvā́n pári vr̥ṅgdhi takman ||1||
As Agni, entering, burned the waters, where the maintainers of duty (dhárma-) paid acts of homage, there they declare to be thy highest birth-place; then do thou, O fever (takmán), complaisant, avoid us.
1.25.2
yády arcír yádi vā́si śocíḥ śakalyeṣí yádi vā te janítram |
hrū́ḍur nā́māsi haritasya deva sá naḥ saṃvidvā́n pári vr̥ṅgdhi takman ||2||
If thou art flame (arcís) or if heat (çocís), or if thy birth-place seeks the shavings (?), hrū́ḍu by name art thou, O god of the yellow one; then do thou, O fever, complaisant, avoid us.
1.25.3
yádi śokó yádi vābhiśokó yádi vā rā́jño váruṇasyā́si putráḥ |
hrū́ḍur nā́māsi haritasya deva sá naḥ saṃvidvā́n pári vr̥ṅgdhi takman ||3||
If heating (çoká) or if scorching (abhiçoká), or if thou art son of king Varuṇa, hrúḍu by name etc. etc.

námaḥ śītā́ya takmáne námo rūrā́ya śocíṣe kr̥ṇomi |
yó anyedyúr ubhayadyúr abhyéti tŕ̥tīyakāya námo astu takmáne ||4||
Homage to the cold fever, homage I pay to the fierce (rūrá) heat (çocís); to the one that befalls on every other day, on both days, to the third-day fever be homage.
