Sanskrit Text

तं गृह्य नृपश्रेष्ठः सचिवानिदमब्रवीत् अस्तमभ्येति सविता विषादद्य मे भयम्

English Translation

“The sun is setting. I have no longer any fear from the poison today. Therefore, let this insect, becoming Takshaka, bite me, so that my sinful act be expitiated and the word of the ascetic may be true. And those councillors, impelled by Fate, approved of the speech of the king.
