Hearing of that curse capable of making the down erect, Daśagrīva abstained from entertaining lust for unwilling females. And hearing of the curse imprecated by Nalakübara all the chaste damsels, that were kept captive, attained to great delight.
श्रुत्वा तु स दशग्रीवस्तं शापं रोमहर्षणम्॥ नारीषु मैथुनीभावं नाकामास्वभ्यरोचयत्। तेन नीताः स्त्रियः प्रीतिमापुः सर्वाः पतिव्रताः। नलकूबरनिर्मुक्तं शापं श्रुत्वा मन:प्रियम्॥
