Library:Brigu curses Agni.
Sūta said:
Having heard the words of Agni, then that demon seized her. O Brahman, in the form of a boar, swiftly with the speed of mind and wind.
Then, the embryo residing in the womb of the Bhrigu dynasty, out of anger of the mother, fell from the womb and therefore became Cyavana.
Seeing him, radiant like the sun, fallen from his mother's womb, that demon became ashes and fell, releasing her.
She, the beautiful lady Pulomā, having taken him, went to Cyavana, the descendant of Bhṛgu, O Brahman, overcome with sorrow.
Brahma, the grandfather of all worlds, himself saw her, the blameless wife of Bhrigu, weeping with tear-filled eyes. The divine Brahma consoled the bride.
A great river, born of her tear-drops, began following the path of the illustrious wife of Bhrigu.
Having seen the path she took, he then named the river 'Vadhusara', the grandsire of the worlds did so, towards the hermitage of the venerable Cyavana.
Thus, Cyavana, the mighty son of Bhrigu, was born. There, the father saw Cyavana and the lady.
Then, the angry Bhrigu asked Pulomā, "By whom are you protected here, desiring to take away? Indeed, that demon does not know you, my wife with a charming smile."
Tell the truth, for today I wish to curse him with anger. Who does not fear my curse? And whose transgression is this?
Puloma said:
By Agni, O Lord, I was offered to the demon. Then the demon led me away, crying like a curlew.
I, liberated by the power of your son, and that demon reduced to ashes, leaving me, indeed fell.
Sūta said:
Thus, having heard of Pulomā, Bhrigu, greatly enraged, cursed Agni furiously, 'You shall become all-consuming.'
