Śaunaka said: “Takṣaka was prevented by Āstīka from falling into the sacrificial fire. Now I shall recount the serpents born in Takṣaka’s lineage—listen to their names: Pucchāṇḍaka, Maṇḍalaka, Piṇḍasektā, Rabheṇaka, Ucchikha, Śarabhā, Bhaṅga, Bilvatejā, Virohaṇa, Śilī, Śalaka, Mūka, Sukumāra, Pravepana, Mudūgara, Śiśuromā, Suromā, and Mahāhanu. These were descendants of Takṣaka who were consumed in the fire of the serpent-sacrifice.”
