aakraamati kramayugena nirastashanka-
stvannaamanaagadamananii hrdi yasya pumsah [41]

krodhoddhataM phaNinamutphaNamApatantaM
AkrAmati kramayugena nirastazaGka-

Meaning
He whose heart is filled with you,
May fearlessly step over a snake which is about to pounce on him,
Even though it may be extremely angry, Red eyed, dark hued like a cuckoo,
And poised to attack him, hood raised. O lord, your very name is the destroyer of serpents.

English translation by Manish Modi
