You got your reply. Though I for one do not believe it. There is a Hindi couplet the last line of which is: चन्दन विष व्यापत नहीं / लिपटे रहत भुजंग. It means that even though snakes entwine chandan trees (Santalum album), the tree is not poisoned. All this probably started as snake is a cold-blooded animal. ak
