Bṛhaspati said: In words choked on account of anger she spoke (cursed) the fire-god thus—“O fire-god, even before we were satisfied, you brought about an interruption in our sexual intercourse. You have committed an act that should not have been committed. Hence, you are evil-minded. The extremely lustrous semen of Rudra that has come out thus, has become a foetus. You must carry the same within you. This is the punishment to you.”
