7.12.27

uvāca vacanaṃ bhūyo vasiṣṭhaṃ pūrvaroṣitam |
na tvaṃ yājayase brahman garvāveśācca māṃ yadi ||

Vyâsa said:-- O King! The Maharsi Vas’istha was already angry with the King; therefore when he spoke these words, the King heard and became absent-minded. He again spoke to the Maharsi:-- O Brâhmana! If you do not allow me to do the sacrifice, on account of your haughtiness, I will have the sacrifice performed now by another priest. Vas’istha became very angry at the words of the King and cursed him:-- “O evilminded One! Be as soon as possible a Chândâla in this body. You have committed acts by which your path to the Heaven is obstructed. You have stolen a Brâhmini’s wife, and defiled the path of religion; you have killed the Surabhi Cow and you are a libertine. Therefore, O Sinner! Never you will go to the Heavens, even after your death.”

Swami Vijnanananda 1921, The Sri Mad Devi Bhagavatam
