Nimi hurried to Vasiṣṭha and prostrated at his feet. But, he did not shed his anger. This made Nimi also angry. He also raised up his hands and cursed Vasiṣṭha thus: "Oh muni! You who got angry without reason are worse than a Caṇḍāla. Therefore let your body be parted from the soul and fall to the ground." - [Previous: c8.1530](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c8.1530) - [Next: c8.1532](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c8.1532) - [Up: c8](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c8) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c8.1531](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c8.1531) · Pramāṇa
