Assuming the form of Krodha (anger), Dharma entered the vessel of milk, desirous of putting J. to the test, and spoiled the milk. J. was not enraged. Krodha, in the form of a brahman lady, then said to him that the saying was false that the Bhṛgus were wrathful, since he had been aubdued by J., and aod asked his forgiveness. J. said that as the milk had been destined to the Pitṛs, Krodha ought to introduce himself to them. Through the curse of the Pitṛs, Krodha became a mongoose until he had spoken disrespectfully of Dharma. Then he wandered about to sacrifices and other sacred places, employed in ceosuring great sacrifices, until he came and censured the horse-sacrifice of Yudhishṭhira, who was Dharma's self; then he became freed from his curse: XIV, 92, 2887, (2894).
