Summary

<i>An ignorant man having gone to dig up Shó-!õä, is discovered speechless and motionless, sitting among serpents, by the hole where he had been digging. By a skilful application of Shó-!õä, the snakes are driven away, taking with them the scent which had injured the man, but leaving the other scent with the plant in the hole. The man is (also by Shó-|õä) restored to speech and motion (L. II.-36. 3287-3332). </i>
