The girls, without even a polite salutation, asked him how they could win Narayana as their husband. Narada, as the spokesman of the Brahmans, replied that they could obtain their heart's desire by giving away a couple of beds with gold furnishings on the twelfth day of the second half of the two spring months. But in revenge for their discourtesy, he placed a curse upon them that they would be raped and forced to take to prostitution. Krishna's wives were Hutasana's daughters in their former birth. - [Previous: c4.23](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.chandra-1973.c4.23) - [Next: c4.25](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.chandra-1973.c4.25) - [Up: c4](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.chandra-1973.c4) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.chandra-1973.c4.24](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.chandra-1973.c4.24) · Pramāṇa
