THE SALVATION OF PARIKSHIT
 
प्राक्कूले बर्हिष्यासीनो गङ्गाकूले उदङ्मुखः
ब्रह्मभूतो महायोगी निस्सङ्गः, तक्षको नृपम् ।
अदशद्, ब्रह्मभूतस्य देहोऽहिगरलाग्निना ।
बभूव भस्मसात्सद्यः पश्यतां सर्वदेहिनाम् ।
 
Bereft of all attachments, Parikshit sat
on the bank of the Ganges facing the
north, on sacred grass placed eastward,
and becoming a great yogin, passed into
the Brahman. The (serpent) Takshaka
stung the king; and even as all the
people were looking on, the body of the
royal sage who had become the Brahman
became a heap of ashes as a result of the
fire of the snake's poison.
