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!

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.
