You liked that, huh? And I didn't even say that. But Burrows did in
'The Sanskrit Language', p. 22-24 (the fun part comes last):

§5. Indo-Iranian and Finno-ugrian
During the same period there is conclusive evidence of contact between
Indo-Iranian and Finno-ugrian, a neighbouring family of
non-Indo-European languages.
Even before the Indo-Iranian period there is evidence of contact
between Indo-European and Finno-ugrian.
Evidence is both more abundant and easier to interpret when it comes
to early Indo-Iranian contacts with Finno-ugrian. Here it is possible
to point out a considerable number of words in Finno-ugrian which can
be shown to have been borrowed from Indo-Iranian at this stage. The
most important of the Finno-ugrian words which have been ascribed to
Indo-Iranian are as follows :

(1) Finn. sata '100', Lapp. cuotte, Mordv. s´ado, C^er. süðö, Zyry.
s´o, Voty. s´u, Vog. sa:t, sa:t, Osty. sòt, sàt, Hung. száz :
