Contact swami_48@yahoo.com Following Prayer is found in the Sixth Kanda of Atharvana Veda:- Prayers for purging Snake poison “Just as the Surya knows the heaven well,I am well acquainted with the story of the birth of the snakes. Just as the sun removes the darkness of the night, I remove the snake poison from your body. The Brahmanas, the sages and gods knew how to purge snake poison. The learning has come down to us from the past and will be used in future as well. I cleanse you of snake poison with that learning.

I sprinkle you with waters of the rivers and mountains. I sprinkle you with the waters of the rivers Parushni and Shipala. May peace descend upon your face. May peace descend on your heart”. (The Parushni is now identified as the Iravati or the Ravi. It is not possible to identify Shipala.

The Shipala probably simply meant a stream in which the aquatic plant shaivala grew.)

When the King Dilipan tried to shoot an arrow at the lion that attacked his divine cow, his hands became numb like the snake benumbed by the mantras and the herbs.( Raghu Vamsam 2-32) Kamban says the demoness Ayomuki misbehaved with Lakshmana like a bad snake who did not obey the command of mantras. (Aranyakas Kandam) Tamil Miracles There are several miracle stories in Tamil and Sanskrit literature where saints cured their disciples bitten by the snakes. They say the verses sung by the saint poets revived the dead. Two famous saints lived in Tamil Nadu 1400 years ago. One of them was Sambandar, a Boy Wonder who did many miracles before he died at the age of sixteen.
