78 [Anger!], anger!
79 Keeps s[tand]ing in his heart!
80 Let me give you(m.) cold water to drink!
81 Let me give you(m.) ice and cool drinks to drink!
82 May dignity, like (of) a wolf, (restrain) your heart,
83 May radiance, like (of) a lion, restrain you(m.)!
84 Jump! Oh anger of Nanāya!

85 Anger! anger!
86 Co[mes to me] like a wild bull,
87 Ke[eps jumpin]g on me like a dog.
88 Like a lion, (anger) is fierce-ranging,
89 Like a wolf, (anger) breaks into a run.
90 [...] water(?) of the liver.
91 I[t has broken the K.] of his heart.
92 Let me cross over the b[ridge], over it (anger)!
93 Beneath it (anger) is the Tigris, the river!
94 Jump! Oh anger of Nanāya!
----
95 Anger! anger!
96 I will trample over you like (over) a threshold!
97 As (I pass over) the soil I will pass back and forth over you!
98 Jump! Oh anger of Nanāya!

99 Incantation of the salt-lump.
