निर्विषेणापि सर्पेण कर्तव्या महती फणा
विषमस्तु न चाप्यस्तु खटाटोपो भयंकर:
Nirvishenaapi Sarpaeana Kartavayaa Mahati Phanaa
Vishmastu Na Chaapyastu Khataatopo Bhayankarahh.
i.e. For a non-poisonous (nirvisha) snake (sarpa) it's extended hood (Phana) is very helpful to it (as a means of protection). Although it is non-poisonous when it extends it's hood and and opens its fang with a hissing sound (khataatop) such action is very frightening (bhayankar)
