लुब्धक उवाच कारणं यदि न स्याद् वै न कर्ता स्यास्त्वमप्युत । विनाशकारणं त्वं च तस्माद् वध्योडसि मे मतः,व्याधने कहा--सर्प! यदि मान भी लें कि तू अपराधका न तो कारण है और न कर्ता ही है तो भी इस बालककी मृत्यु तो तेरे ही कारण हुई है, इसलिये मैं तुझे मारने योग्य समझता हूँ
Translation
The hunter said: “Serpent! Even if we grant that you are neither the cause nor the doer of wrongdoing, still the destruction—the death—of this child has come about through you. Therefore, in my view, you are fit to be slain.”
