Sanskrit Text

तं तु नादं ततः श्रुत्वा मन्त्रिणस्ते प्रदुद्रुवुः अपश्यंश्चैव ते यान्तमाकाशे नागमद्भुतम्

English Translation

Hearing the roars of Takshaka the ministers all fled. And as they were running away, they saw the king of the snakes the wonderful serpent Takshaka, going away through the sky like a streak with the colour of the lotus. His coursing through the sky looked like the vermillion line in the middle of the dark masses of a lady's hair.
