Once Pramadvarā the wife of Ruru, died by snake-bite. Ruru cried over the death of his wife for a long time. According to the advice of a messenger from the Devas Ruru gave half of his life-time to his wife and she came to life again. But Ruru felt a bitter hatred against serpents and began their extermination. Once he met with Sahasrapāt. Instantly at the sight of Ruru, Sahasrapāt obtained his original form. (M.B. Ādi Parva, Chapter 11).
