TRANSLATION

The serpent replied: I am the well-known Vidyādhara named Sudarśana. I was very opulent and beautiful, and I used to wander freely in all directions in my airplane. Once I saw some homely sages of the lineage of Ańgirā Muni. Proud of my beauty, I ridiculed them, and because of my sin they made me assume this lowly form.
