The eyes of the serpent, which have the power of paralyzing, of making impotent (see seventh domain), are given him; the result is, that when he goes to the mountain on which the serpent shows his strength, this strength collapses, as the deceased says: thy strength is in my hand; I am he who lifts, who takes away the strength.
