(v) Cursing Rāvaṇa. Once Rāvaṇa asked Vasiṣṭha to come as his teacher and teach him the Vedas and the other scriptures. Vasiṣṭha did not comply with his request. The angry Rāvaṇa got Vasiṣṭha a captive. But the King Kuvalayāśva of the Solar dynasty, liberated Vasiṣṭha from captivity. The rescued Vasiṣṭha cursed Rāvaṇa. You and your family will be exterminated by those born of the Solar dynasty." (Kamba Rāmāyaṇa, Yuddha Kāṇḍa).
