It is totally eroneous to believe that snake bites can be cured by mantras, mantriks,magic spells roots and herbs. The other remedies are useful to relieve fear and treat shock, but should never be substituted for or interfere with the anti-venom treatment. Snake bites are cured only when timely treatment is rendered to the patient. Mantriks casting spells, using snake stones to suck out the venom, Naagveli, kinds of oil, ash etc. are all futile. The snake stone is merely a benzoin or a gall stone, and has no effecton the venomous bite.
Snakes are revengeful.
There is no scientific basis to this. A snake's brain is not developed to the extent of retaining memory. That, of course is wrong, but may have some basis in fact. Snakes guard wealth. This is a common misbelief.
