yama uvāca
tātaitanmahadāścaryaṃ na dṛṣṭamiti kenacit /
mātā vātsalyamutsṛjya śāpaṃ putre prayacchati //
Yama spoke:
O father, this great marvel was never seen by any one, that a mother casting love away imprecates a curse on her son. She is not mother to me in the same way as Manu calls her his mother; no mother would abandon her good qualities even towards sons devoid of good qualities.
