Verse 65.77
अंगारकर्षूं प्रपतेय न कोचि आशीविषं पि स्पृशे नो करेण ।
जात्यन्धो त्रस्तो शुनखेहि पृष्ठे सो अन्धकूपे प्रपते अचक्षुः ॥ ७७ ॥
aṃgārakarṣūṃ prapateya na koci āśīviṣaṃ pi spṛśe no kareṇa |
jātyandho trasto śunakhehi pṛṣṭhe so andhakūpe prapate acakṣuḥ || 77 ||
No one would go down a trench of burning coals; no one would touch a snake with his hand. The blind man frightened by dogs behind him falls unseeing into a hidden well. (77)
