प्रतिपूर्य मुखं वस्त्रैर्हितमाचूषणं भवेत् | स दष्टव्योऽथवा सर्पो लोष्टो वाऽपि हि तत्क्षणम् ||६||

sanskrit

Filling one’s mouth with cloth serves as a beneficial approach to suctioning. Alternatively, the snake or even a clod of earth should be immediately bitten back at that very moment.

अथ मण्डलिना दष्टं न कथञ्चन दाहयेत् | स पित्तबाहुल्यविषाद्दंशो दाहाद्विसर्पते ||७||

sanskrit

Now, in the case of a bite from a snake with a circular mark, it should not be cauterized under any circumstances. Due to the poison being dominated by the pitta (heat element), the bite will spread further if cauterized.

अरिष्टामपि मन्त्रैश्च बध्नीयान्मन्त्रकोविदः | सा तु रज्ज्वादिभिर्बद्धा विषप्रतिकरी मता ||८||

sanskrit

One well-versed in mantras should tie a protective amulet (arishṭa) over the bite site, invoking specific mantras. When bound with strings or other materials, this amulet is believed to act as an antidote to the poison.

देवब्रह्मर्षिभिः प्रोक्ता मन्त्राः सत्यतपोमयाः | भवन्ति नान्यथा क्षिप्रं विषं हन्युः सुदुस्तरम् ||९||

sanskrit

Mantras composed by gods, Brahmins, and sages, imbued with truth and austerity, are effective in combating even the most formidable poison. Without these qualities, however, they do not yield swift results in destroying poison.

विषं तेजोमयैर्मन्त्रैः सत्यब्रह्मतपोमयैः | यथा निवार्यते क्षिप्रं प्रयुक्तैर्न तथौषधैः ||१०||

sanskrit

Poison is swiftly neutralized by mantras that are imbued with potency, truth, and the essence of Brahman and austerity. This effect is not as quickly achieved through the use of medicinal herbs alone.
