Guest guest Posted July 11, 2005 Report Share Posted July 11, 2005 Snake dies after biting priest "Lord Shiva's charisma saved me" Indo-Asian News Service Ranchi, July 11, 2005 A snake bites a priest. The snake vomits blood and dies. The priest recovers -- it all happened in a Jharkhand village and is being attributed to Lord Shiva's blessings. The man who was bitten and lived to tell the tale was the priest of the Nag Devta (Snake God) temple in Badapaghar village of Dumka district, 450 km from here. "Lord Shiva's charisma saved me," the priest was quoted as saying in local newspapers after he was bitten by a five ft snake in the temple premises. The snake vomited blood and died immediately after biting the priest, who is recuperating in hospital. "Usually a person does not survive if the snake dies or gets killed after biting. The priest has not only survived but is also behaving normally," said a villager. http://www.hindustantimes.com/news/181_1427358,00080003.htm? headline=Snake~dies~after~biting~priest!!!
