ĀTMĀNUŚĀSANA – PRECEPT ON THE SOUL by Ācārya GUṆABHADRA (ca. 818–900 A.D.) [128]
Gātha 127
The cobras can kill only at certain times, as they bite only in rage; further, there are many remedies for removing their poison. The women in form of cobras, however, can kill in rage and in love, here and hereafter, over and over again, not sparing even the master-ascetics. They kill both, those they see and those who see them. And, there is no remedy for removing their poison.
