I lived formerly with Rama in the disguise of a Brahmana with a view to obtain the celestial weapons from him. At that time, O Shalya, the king of gods, wishing to do a good office by Phalguna, put in an impediment by approaching my thigh and piercing it in the form of a dreadful worm. When my preceptor slept placing his head on my thigh that worm began to bore it through.
