Śankhachúda is delivered from him who was the dread of all the snakes; Garuda has been brought to a better mind; all the lords of the Nágas, whom he had ever eaten, he has now restored to life; my parents are yet alive, through the recovery of my life; imperial dignity has been obtained; and thou, O goddess, hast been seen visibly present. What further boon can I ask of thee? Yet, grant that these words of Bharata may come true:—May the clouds in due season let loose their showers, exhilarating the pea-fowl in their wild dance. May they clothe the earth with green harvests in a continual succession! And may all my subjects, accumulating good works, and freed from all calamities, rejoice with minds untainted by envy, tasting unbroken pleasure in the society of relations and friends! > — Palmer Boyd 1872, Nágánanda, or The Joy of the Snake-World - [Previous: 5.38](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.plays.nagananda.5.38) - [Next: 5.40](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.plays.nagananda.5.40) - [Up: 5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.plays.nagananda.5) ## Translations (1) - [Nágánanda, or The Joy of the Snake-World](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.plays.nagananda~en-boyd.5.p165) — Palmer Boyd 1872, English ## Linked texts (2) - [Nāgānandanāṭaka](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.avadana.nataka.naganandanataka.5.39) — Sanskrit - [Nāgānanda](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.plays.other.nagananda-2.2.114) — Harṣa, Sanskrit --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.plays.nagananda.5.39](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.plays.nagananda.5.39) · Pramāṇa
