He said to himself, ‘How has this place become cursed and doles me no alms The Brâhmaṇas the Kṣatriyas the widows, the married ladies, none of them give me any alms—which is most strange I shall pronounce my curse on all of them and on the whole city to the effect that this sacred place may become devoid of its sanctity and that there be no pelf and learning left among the people of all the three classes residing here No friendship should exist among them I shall also create such troubles for those residing at Avimukta as they may not attain their ends.’—17 21
