The poet feels that once again the snake was due to be crowned as a king. He felt that he missed the opportunity of being with the lord of life. He addresses the snake as lord of life as he lived in the depth of the earth which was the source of all living things. The poet wanted to make amends and correct his mistake as he was feeling small in front of the great snake.
