v2.c19.392

‘When he had heard what the wife of the serpent had said, Śrī Krishṇa descending from Kāliya; and he, with folded hands and deep humility said: “Be pleased O Lord to forgive my fault. It was in ignorance that I struck at Thee with my hoods; I am but a low-born snake, how should we have so much wisdom to know Thee?” Śrī Krishṇa said: “Well, what was, was; but now you may not remain here, but shall go back again with your family into Raunak Dīp.”’
