When Chhâyâ herself became the mother of these children, she began to devote more attention to her own offspring than to the progeny of Saṃjñâ. Manu did not mind this, but Yama took it seriously, and one day he lifted his right leg to kick Chhâyâ. Chhâyâ also, getting in a fit of rage, cursed Yama, and said that his leg would be eaten by worms and would always discharge pus and blood.—8-12. > — A Taluqdar of Oudh 1916, The Matsya Puranam - [Previous: 11.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.matsya.11.7) - [Next: 11.9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.matsya.11.9) - [Up: 11](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.matsya.11) ## Translations (2) - [The Matsya Puranam](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.matsya~en-taluqdar.11.p4) — A Taluqdar of Oudh 1916, English - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.matsya~en-mt.11.8) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.matsya.11.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.matsya.11.8) · Pramāṇa
