4.26

saṃrakṣatā pannagamadya puṇyaṃ mayārjitaṃ yatsvaśarīradānāt /
bhave bhave tena mamaivamevaṃ bhūyāt parārthaḥ khalu dehalābhaḥ //

Jímútaváhana (with joy).
Through the merit that I gain to-day, by protecting a Nága at the sacrifice of myself, may I still obtain, in succeeding existences, a body to be sacrificed for others!

Palmer Boyd 1872, Nágánanda, or The Joy of the Snake-World
