Among animal poisons that of snakes is the most dreadful. Snakes are of five kinds: darvīkara (hooded), maṇḍalī (with round patches), rājīmanta (striped), vaikarañja (born of a cross between different kinds) and nirviṣa, the non-poisonous or weakly poisonous snakes of water and the rainy season, parrot-green or moon-white, together with the python that can swallow a man.
