Kubera also was invited to the chanting of mantras held by the Devas at Kuśāvati. Kubera was on his way to Kuśāvati with Maṇimān when the latter spat on the head of Agastya, who was performing penance on the banks of river Kālindī. Agastya cursed them thus:—“Oh Kubera, your attendant Maṇimān has insulted me. Therefore, he himself and the army will be killed by a man. You will grieve over their death. But, you will be absolved from this curse at the sight of the man, who had killed Maṇimān and his army.” - [Previous: c7.2914](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c7.2914) - [Next: c7.2916](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c7.2916) - [Up: c7](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c7) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c7.2915](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c7.2915) · Pramāṇa
