SUTAPAS VII. A hermit. This hermit once approached the princess Utpalāvatī and requested her for coition with him. The princess refused. Then he cursed her, to become an animal. Utpalāvatī begged for liberation from the curse. Sutapas felt pity for her and blessed her thus:—“A son named Lola will be born to you. He will become the Manu of Tāmasa Manvantara.” (Mārkaṇḍeya Purāṇa, Chapter 17).
