tasmādvarapradānaṃ vaḥ śāpaścāyamabhūtpurā
śayyādvayapradānena madhumādhavamāsayoḥ //
Dâlbhya said:—“Ladies! in the days gone by, all of you were sporting in the Mânsarovara lake, when Nârada chanced to go there. Then you were the daughters of Agni, in the form of nymphs. You did not salute the sage, but asked him how Nârâyaṇa, the Lord of the universe, would be your husband. Nârada blessed you with the boon asked for, but also cursed you for not saluting him. He said that, by giving away two beddings, according to prescribed rites, on the twelfth day of the bright fortnight, in the months of Chaitra and Vaisâkha, you would get Kṛiṣṇa as your husband in the next life.”—20-23.
