tasyāyaṃ vacanāddaṣṭo na kopena na kāmyayā |
tasya tatkilbiṣaṃ lubdha vidyate yadi kilbiṣam || 29 ||
"The serpent said, 'O foolish Arjunaka, what fault is there of mine? I have no will of my own, and am not independent. Mrityu sent me on this errand. By his direction have I bitten this child, and not out of any anger or choice on my part. Therefore, if there be any sin in this, O fowler, the sin is his.'
