3) How Tumburu was born as Virādha. When Rāma and Lakṣmaṇa were in the forests in exile a demon named Virādha attacked them. That demon was none other than Tumburu. Once when Tumburu was living in the city of Kubera he committed a sin and Kubera cursed him and made him into a demon. Kubera had then told him that he would get relief from the curse when he was slain by Rāma, son of Daśaratha. Śrī Rāma killed Virādha and the latter regaining the form of Tumburu left for Gandharvaloka. (See under Virādha).
4) How he cursed Purūravas. It is found in Kathāsaritsā-gara that the temporary separation which Purūravas had from Urvaśī was due to a curse by the Gandharva Tumburu.
