v1.c5.s8.395
Once he flew in the air and saw Śiva sitting with Pārvatī on his lap in the presence of his attendants and others. He laughed at this, which enraged Pārvatī who cursed him to be born an Asura. Citraketu alighted from his aerial car and begged for pardon. After he went away, Śiva told Pārvatī that Citraketu was a devotee of Hari, and hence his devotee also. Therefore he deserved pardon. Pārvatī was appeased, and Citraketu was born as Vṛtra.
