anyám asmád ichatu káṃ cid avratás tápurvadhāya námo astu takmáne ||1||
Of him as of burning fire goeth the vehemence (?); likewise, as it were, shall he crying out go away from me; some other one than us let the ill-behaved one seek; homage be to the heat-weaponed fever.

námo rudrā́ya námo astu takmáne námo rā́jñe váruṇāya tvíṣīmate |
námo divé námaḥ pr̥thivyái náma óṣadhībhyaḥ ||2||
Homage to Rudra, homage be to the fever, homage to king Varuṇa, the brilliant (tvíṣīmant), homage to the sky, homage to the earth, homage to the herbs.

ayáṃ yó abhiśocayiṣṇúr víśvā rūpā́ṇi háritā kr̥ṇóṣi |
tásmai te 'ruṇā́ya babhráve námaḥ kr̥ṇomi ványāya takmáne ||3||
Thou here who, scorching greatly, dost make all forms yellow—to thee here, the ruddy, the brown, the woody takmán, do I pay homage.
