In days of old, Tumburu, a Gandharva had been serving Kubera. Once Tumburu was asked by Kubera to bring Rambhā. Tumburu failed in bringing Rambhā at the stipulated time. Kubera got angry and cursed Tumburu to become a Rākṣasa. Tumburu requested for liberation from the curse. Kubera granted his request and said "In Tretāyuga, Mahāviṣṇu will incarnate as Śrī Rāma, who with his sword will change your Rākṣasa form. You will regain your former form and will come back to the world of Gandharvas."
