AV 6 20.1

अग्नेर् इवास्य दहत एति शुष्मिण उतेव मत्तो विलपन्न् अपायति । अन्यम् अस्मद् इछतु कं चिद् अव्रतस् तपुर्वधाय नमो अस्तु तक्मने

agner ivāsya dahata eti śuṣmiṇa uteva matto vilapann apāyati | anyam asmad ichatu kaṃ cid avratas tapurvadhāya namo astu takmane

He goes as if burning with the fire of this impetuous one, and like a madman he goes off babbling. Let the lawless one seek out someone other than us; homage be to takman (fever), whose weapon is heat.
