1.5.83

anṛtaṃ sāhasaṃ māyā mūrkhatvamatilobhatā |
aśaucaṃ nirdayatvaṃ ca strīṇāṃ doṣāḥ svabhāvajāḥ ||

Falsehood, vain boldness, craftiness, stupidity, impatience, over-greediness, impurity, and harshness are the natural qualities of women. Owing to that curse, the head of Vasudeva has fallen into the salt ocean. Now I will fix the head on His body as before. O Sura Sattamas! There is another cause, also, regarding this affair. That will bring you great success. In ancient days a famous Daitya, named Hayagrîva practised severe tapasya on the bank of the Sarasvatî river.

Swami Vijnanananda 1921, The Sri Mad Devi Bhagavatam
