Agnishaucham

Nala got separated from Damayanti. He was roaming around in the forest. At that time, he got bitten by the serpent, Karkotaka. He became ugly beyond recognition due to the effect of the poison. Then, Karkotaka gave him a cloak with magical power called Agnishaucham (अग्निशौचम्). Wearing this, Nala could get back his original form.
