Sanskrit Text

पनसस्य यथा जातं वृन्तबद्धं महाफलम् तथा लम्बते तत्र ऊर्ध्वपादो ह्यधःशिराः

English Translation

While wandering the Brahmana dropped into that invisible pit. He was entangled in those creepers that were interwoven with one another, like the large fruit of a jack tree hanging by its stalk. He remained there hanging with feet upwards and head downwards.
