The people depicted in the story are confronted by a paradox generated by one of their most deeply-ingrained superstitions. On the one hand, they worship King Cobra, which means that they treat these deadly, poisonous snakes with honor and veneration. On the other hand, however, they still need to remove these dangerous creatures from their midst in order to avoid being bitten and killed by them. The presence of a cobra in the family's garden is therefore both a blessing and a curse.

As the old beggar reminds the mother, the cobra is a sign of Subrahmanya, the Hindu god of war, and therefore must not be killed. Divine or not, however, this highly venomous snake still has to be removed from the garden, and it's fallen to the old family retainer Dasu to perform this dangerous task. In Dasu's labored attempts to deal with the snake, one can see what kind of problems often arise when superstition collides with necessity.
