kiṃ punarjalasarpo'yaṃ nirviṣo rajjusaṃnibhaḥ ..
na māmuddiśya nirmuktaḥ sarpo'nena dvijanmanā ..
śāpamokṣaṃ kuruṣvāsya tasmācchīghraṃ dvijanmanaḥ .. 19 ..

How much less this water-snake, non-venomous and resembling a rope! / The snake was not directed at me by this twice-born. / Therefore grant this twice-born release from the curse swiftly.” (18)
