24.21
śataśo vṛddhimāyātu na nāśaṃ bhuvi yāsyati
ityuktvāntardadhuḥ sarve rājā rājyaṃ tadanvabhūt //
Then he seated them on three different golden seats and worshipped them devoutly, but maintained greater devotion for Dharma. At that Kâma and Artha became displeased with the King and Artha cursed him to get destroyed by avarice. Kâma cursed him to the effect that he would turn mad from the separation of Urvaśî, in the Kumâravana on the Gandhamâdana hill. On hearing the curses of the two, Dharma blessed him with long life and said that he would have his lineage till the sun and the moon exist. He would flourish thousands of years and his progeny would never become extinct. Saying so, they all three disappeared instantly and the king afterwards occupied himself with the affairs of the state.--17-21.
