सर्पस्तीव्रविषो भद्रे तीक्ष्णदंष्ट्रो दुरासदः ॥ दंशते मानुषं दुष्टो येनासौ म्रियते जनः ॥

Recitation with translationVaraha Purana 126.93

sarpas tīvraviṣo bhadre tīkṣṇadaṁṣṭro durāsadaḥ || daṁśate mānuṣaṁ duṣṭo yenāsau mriyate janaḥ ||

भद्रे, यह साँप बहुत खतरनाक है। इसका ज़हर तेज़ है, दाँत नोचे हैं, और पास जाना मुश्किल। यह बुरा इंसान को काट देता है और वो मर जाता है।
