“How while he and we thus dwelt in the forest, there came the king of the gods in the appearance of a bird, mighty in size, with broken wings, stricken with age, with eyes of a copperish colour, down-cast in soul; desirous to prove that venerable Ṛṣi, who practised truth, purity, and patience, and who was exceedingly lofty in mind; and for the coming of the curse upon us.
