Never do you look at Nahusha who absorbs all energy and whose gaze is as very subtle as poison. The gods too, being very much afraid of Nahusha, do not look at him and roam about in concealment.
तेजोहरं दृष्टिविषं सुधोरं मा त्वं पश्येर्नहुषं वै कदाचित्। देवाश्च सर्वे नहुषं भृशार्ता न पश्यन्ते गूढरूपाश्चरन्तः॥
