Thus the mistress (Devayānī) had two sons and her servant, Śarmiṣṭhā three sons. While Yayāti and Devayānī were one day strolling in the garden the sons of Śarmiṣṭhā came there. She noticed the close resemblance of those boys to her husband (Yayāti) and it kindled her wrath. Though Yayāti did not, because of the presence of Devayānī, notice the children, when she asked them who their father was, they answered “Yayāti”, whereupon in great rage she ran up to her father. Yayāti too followed her. Devayānī told her father about the infidelity of Yayāti and he (Śukra) cursed that Yayāti be afflicted with old age. When Yayāti asked for redumption from the curse Śukrācārya told him that he could exchange his old age for the youth of somebody else. - [Previous: c5.464](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c5.464) - [Next: c5.466](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c5.466) - [Up: c5](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c5) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c5.465](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c5.465) · Pramāṇa
