Vedic Reference

English

 Sarpa-vidyā,  the ‘science of snakes, ’ is enumerated in the
Śatapatha Brāhmaṇa among branches of learning. It must
have been reduced to fixed rules,  since a section (parvan) of it
is referred to as studied. The Gopatha Brāhmaṇa^2 has the
form Sarpa-veda.
^1 xiii. 4,  3,  9. Cf. Śānkhāyana Śrauta
Sūtra,  xvi. 2,  25. The Āśvalāyana
Srauta Sūtra,  x. 7,  5,  has Viṣa-vidyā,
