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.

Gandharvas and the celestial damsels
