The Devas took Rāgiṇī also before Brahmā and put the same question. The reply of Brahmā was the same as before. She also got angry and said to Brahmā. "I will do great penance so as to enable to give birth to one in my family to be the killer of Mahiṣāsura." Brahmā cursed her also. "You are deliberately disobeying my words which even devas won't gainsay. So you will become the colours of the twilight." Thus she became the fast colours of the twilight, and her body was divided among the Pleiades. (Vāmana Purāṇa, Chapter 51).
