There was an illustrious and famous ṛṣi named Ṛtavāc. To that high-souled ṛṣi who had no son a son was born at the termination of the constellation Revatī. He performed the birth ceremony and all other rites for that son according to the ordinances, and also the investiture with the sacred thread and other ceremonies. And he was of bad disposition, O muni. And even from his son’s very birth the ṛṣi, that lordly muni, became afflicted with a lingering disease; his mother suffered extreme pain, being attacked with leprosy and other diseases. And his father in his affliction pondered—“Why is this?” And that his son also, being exceedingly wicked in mind, took another muni’s son’s wife whom he met.
