nimirnāma saha strībhiḥ purā dyūtamadīvyata
tatrāntare 'bhyājagāma vasiṣṭho brahmasambhavaḥ //

Once upon a time King Nimi was playing with women the game of dice, where Vasiṣṭha, the son of Brahmâ, chanced to go. At that time the king did not show his respect to the sage, at which the latter got annoyed and cursed him to become bodyless, and the king also pronounced another curse on the sage.—32-33.
