Janamejaya, son of Parīkṣit, along with his brothers performed an elaborate Yāga at Kurukṣetra. His three brothers were Śrutasena, Ugrasena and Bhīmasena. While they were performing the Yāga, a dog which was the son of Saramā came there. Janamejaya's brothers attacked the dog without any provocation. Saramā became angry and she cursed Janamejaya. The curse frightened him. After the Yāga he reached Hastināpura and went out in search of a priest who would be able to liberate him from the curse.
