The water which dripped from their bodies angered a snake living in the anthill, and his venomous breath blinded them both. When it grew late Sāma went in search of them and brought them home. From then onwards he looked after them. - [Previous: v2.c36.2176](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c36.2176) - [Next: v2.c36.2178](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c36.2178) - [Up: v2.c36](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c36) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c36.2177](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c36.2177) · Pramāṇa
