With reference to your father, burning as if in effulgence, “Behold my ascetic powers. The angry and effulgent snake Takshaka, as spoken by me, will burn with his poison, within seven nights hence, the wretch who has placed a dead snake on the shoulder of my sire.“ Having said this, he went to the place where his father was. Seeing his father, he told him of the curse uttered by him.
पितरं तेऽभिसंधाय तेजसा प्रज्वलन्निव॥ अनागसि गुरौ यो मे मृतं सर्पमवासृजत्। तं नागस्तक्षकः क्रुद्धस्तेजसा प्रदहिष्यति॥ आशीविषस्तिग्मतेजा मद्वाक्यबलचोदितः। सप्तरात्रादितः पापं पश्य मे तपसो बलम्॥ इत्युक्त्वा प्रययौ तत्र पिता यत्राऽस्य सोऽभवत्। दृष्ट्वा च पितरं तस्मै तं शापं प्रत्यवेदयत्॥
