apasara sakhe dūrād asmāt kaṭākṣa-viṣānalāt
prakṛti-viṣamād yoṣit-sarpād vilāsa-phaṇābhṛtaḥ |
itara-phaṇinā daṣṭaḥ śakyaś cikitsitum auṣadhaiścatur-
vanitābhogi-grastaṃ hi mantriṇaḥ ||
Keep away, friend, far from this woman-serpent, whose fiery poison is her sidelong glance, / cruel by nature, bearing a hood of playful charm! / A man bitten by another serpent can be cured with medicines by clever exorcists; / but for one seized by the woman-serpent, [there are none].
