Kalāvatī thus became the wife of a Man due to a curse of Indra. Once she praised sexual enjoyment with men on earth and decried the same with Devas. Indra heard it and he cursed her "Then let her become the wife of a man on earth and enjoy the pleasures there." All this story Thiṇṭhākarāla learned from Kalāvatī. She added she wanted to go to Devaloka the next day for a dance with Rambhā. Thiṇṭhākarāla consented and he also went to Devaloka and saw the dance, sitting along with the Devas.
