Aphorisms
Febrile illness in its many forms, treated as the passage's central pathological category with extensive prognostic detail.
Fevers, not of the intermittent type, which are exacerbated on the third day, are dangerous;
In fevers not of the intermittent type, expectorations which are livid bloody, fetid and bilious, are all bad;
In fevers not of the intermittent type, if the external parts be cold, but the internal be burnt up, and if there be thirst, it is a mortal symptom.
Atharvaveda (Paippalāda)
Personified fever-disease (Takman), addressed and exorcised through genealogical naming.
may Varuṇa, the pressing-stone, and the Maruts of purified might — seated on the sacred grass, the kindled fires blazing bright — thrust the burning fever far away.
He who is the sweeper of cattle, in whom you share as your portion—go to that donkey, O fever;
Go away, O fever!
