The Great Epic of the Bhārata dynasty 13.1.71

13.1.71

naiva kālo na bhujago na mṛtyuriha kāraṇam |
svakarmabhirayaṃ bālaḥ kālena nidhanaṃ gataḥ || 71 ||

"Gautami said, 'Neither Kala, nor Mrityu, nor the serpent, is the cause in this matter. This child has met with death as the result of its own Karma. I too so acted (in the past) that my son has died (as its consequence). Let now Kala and Mrityu retire from this place, and do thou too, O Arjunaka, release this serpent.'
