"Sauti replied, 'Many thousands and tens of thousands and billions of snakes fell into the fire. O most excellent Brahmana, so great is the number that I am unable to count them all. So far, however, as I remember, hear the names I mention of the principal snakes cast into the fire. Hear first the names of the principal ones of Vasuki's race alone, of colour blue, red and white of terrible form and huge body and deadly poison. Helpless and miserable and afflicted with their mother's curse, they fell into the sacrificial fire like libations of butter.
Nagas of the race Kauravya
Now hear, O best of Brahmanas, the names of the snakes I mention born in the race of Kauravya:
Aindila, Kundala, Munda, Veniskandha, Kumaraka, Bahuka, Shringavega, Dhurtaka, Patapatara and Astaka (?).
There born in the race of Kauravya fell into the fire.
************************************************
There is one correction. Munda is from the race of Kauravya and not Taxaka. Also sanskrit part dos not mention Astaka but English version mentions it.
