The cobra bit him first. The BBC reported his motive this way:



BBC News - Farmer bites cobra to death in Nepal: 



"A Nepali farmer who was bitten by a cobra in his rice paddy field has killed the snake by repeatedly biting it in return.



"A snake charmer told me that if a snake bites you, bite it until it is dead and nothing will happen to you," Mohammed Salmodin told the BBC."



But a report in Reuters mentions a different motive:







"I could have killed it with a stick but bit it with my teeth instead because I was angry."



Mohammed Salmodin then went back to work until his family pressured him to get help. Remind me not to make this guy angry.  



Incidentally, I knew a family who had eaten cobra. They said it was good in soup.
