अ॒यं यो विश्वा॒न् हरि॑तान् कृ॒णोष्यु॑च्छो॒चय॑न्न॒ग्निरि॑वाभिदु॒न्वन्। अधा॒ हि त॑क्मन्नर॒सो हि भू॒या अधा॒ न्यऽङ्ङध॒राङ् वा॒ परे॑हि
ayáṃ yó víśvān haritā́n kṛṇóṣi úcchocayan agnír ivābhidúnvan | ádha hí takman arásó hí bhūyā ádha ny-àṅ ádharāṅ vā pár ehi ||
Thou who makest all men pallid, kindling up and smiting like unto Agni—then, O Fever, be thou verily sapless; then go away downward, to the lower region, or depart afar!
Ty, który czynisz wszystkich ludzi bladymi, rozpalając i uderzając jak Agni, wtedy, o Gorączko, bądź bezkrwista; wtedy idź w dół, do niższej krainy, lub odejdź daleko!
