*yayātiruvāca
yastvaṃ me hṛdayājjāto vayaḥ svaṃ na prayacchasi
pāpānmātulasambandhād duṣprajā te bhaviṣyati //

At that Yayâti got vexed and cursed Yadu that, as he being his son, refused to give him his youth, his sons would be wicked like his maternal uncle; and afterwards he made a similar request to his son Turvasu, making the same promise to him of restoring back to him his youth after a thousand years. Turvasu also refused to accept the proposal of the king, saying that he would not accept the old age which made one devoid of potency, power, enjoyment, beauty, intellect and honour.—8-11.
