Verse 111.25
मोहं नो जुहितो अग्नि मोहं मे सो तपो कृतो ।
यं जहे पश्चिमे काले जीर्णां व उरगो त्वचं ॥ २५ ॥
mohaṃ no juhito agni mohaṃ me so tapo kṛto |
yaṃ jahe paścime kāle jīrṇāṃ va urago tvacaṃ || 25 ||
Yea, in vain did I offer the fire-sacrifice; in vain did I make my penance, since at the last I abandoned them as a snake its cast-off skin. (25)
