The hermit called Citrāṅgadā and enquired about her. She told the hermit all that had happened to her. Hearing her story, the hermit became angry and cursed Viśvakarmā. "Let that Viśvakarmā who has behaved so cruelly towards his own daughter become a monkey." Then he called Citrāṅgadā and said to her. "Good girl, go to the holy place called Saptagodāvara and worship Hāṭakeśvara Mahādeva. Devavatī, the daughter of the asura Kandāramālī the hermit woman Damayantī, the daughter of Añjana, a Guhyaka, and Vedavatī the daughter of Parjanya would come there. At the time when these three young women meet together at Hāṭakeśvara, you will unite with your husband." Being overjoyed at the words of the hermit, Citrāṅgadā went to Saptagodāvara, lived there and worshipped Śiva. Ṛtadhvaja went on his way. - [Previous: c9.4717](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c9.4717) - [Next: c9.4719](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c9.4719) - [Up: c9](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c9) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c9.4718](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c9.4718) · Pramāṇa
