Answer
Study question (generated from the text)
Five: darvīkara (hooded), maṇḍalī (with round patches), rājīmanta (striped), vaikarañja (born of mixed parentage) and nirviṣa (non-poisonous).
Detailed answer
The non-poisonous kind includes snakes of water and the rainy season, parrot-green or moon-white in colour, and the python. Divine serpents carry poison in their sight and breath, for which the commentary says there is no medicine, while earthly snakes bite with their fangs, when protecting their young, in frenzy, from hunger, when trodden on or touched, from fear or anger.
