sa cintayann ittham athāśṛṇod yathā muneḥ sutokto nirṛtis takṣakākhyaḥ sa sādhu mene na cireṇa takṣakā- nalaṁ prasaktasya virakti-kāraṇam
Translation
While the King was thus repenting, he received news of his imminent death, which would be due to the bite of a snake-bird, occasioned by the curse spoken by the sage's son. The King accepted this as good news, for it would be the cause of his indifference toward worldly things.
