When I saw the moon's disk, I was reminded of the form of Śesha coiled up in a circle through fear. My elder brother joyfully recognised me, when the sun was shaken by the sudden start of his chariot steeds as I passed. My long wings, as I fly, stretch out still longer by reason of the clouds, that hang from them in festoons. > — Palmer Boyd 1872, Nágánanda, or The Joy of the Snake-World - [Previous: 4.24](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.plays.nagananda.4.24) - [Next: 4.26](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.plays.nagananda.4.26) - [Up: 4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.plays.nagananda.4) ## Translations (1) - [Nágánanda, or The Joy of the Snake-World](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.plays.nagananda~en-boyd.4.p104) — Palmer Boyd 1872, English ## Linked texts (1) - [Nāgānandanāṭaka](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.avadana.nataka.naganandanataka.4.24.p2) — Sanskrit --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.plays.nagananda.4.25](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.plays.nagananda.4.25) · Pramāṇa
