29. Lower still, in the region of Mahatala lives a class called Krodhavasa (the revengeful)--(of serpents born of Kadru and endowed with many hoods). The eminent members thereof *viz.*, Kuhaka, Takshaka and others, all having extensive hoods as well as a huge body always tremble with the fear of Garuda the king of birds, the vehicle of the supreme Person; and at the same time in great attachment to their wives, children, friends, and kinsmen they lead on the other hand a life of careless sportfulness.
