yadakṛtvā praṇāmaṃ me rūpasaubhāgyamatsarāt
paripṛṣṭo 'smi tenāśu viyogo vo bhaviṣyati
caurairapahṛtāḥ sarvā veśyātvaṃ samavāpsyatha //

And cursed you as follows:—“Because in your conceit of beauty and prosperity you have omitted to salute me before putting me this question, you will also be separated from Kṛiṣṇa and will be lowered to the rank of public women, after being forcibly carried away by thieves. In consequence of the curses of Nârada and Kṛiṣṇa you gave way to lustful feelings and have become prostitutes. Now listen to what I say.—24-25.
