Therefore, in future you will not have children by your wives." Pārvatī cursed the earth also as follows: "You will become one of various forms and also a wife to many people. You, who prevented me from having a son, will not enjoy happiness from children." (Vālmīki Rāmāyaṇa, Bālakāṇḍa, Canto 36). - [Previous: c9.2326](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c9.2326) - [Next: c9.2328](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c9.2328) - [Up: c9](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c9) ## Cites (1) - [Vālmīkirāmāyaṇa](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.ramayana.valmiki.1.36) — Vālmīki, Sanskrit --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c9.2327](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c9.2327) · Pramāṇa
