And though they waited for a long time at the gate they did not obtain permission to enter the palace. Thereat both of them were greatly enraged and imprecated dreadful curses, saying Since you have not granted us an interview though we have been waiting here for a long time, you shall, by our curse, remain invisible, being a lizard. You shall in this state live in a den for many hundred and thousand years.
तौ राजभवनद्वारि न प्राप्तौ नृगशासनम्॥ अहोरात्राण्यनेकानि वसन्तौ क्रोधमीयतुः। ऊचतुश्च महात्मानौ तावुभौ द्विजसत्तमौ। क्रुद्धौ परमसंप्राप्तौ वाक्यं घोराभिसंहतम्॥ अर्थिनां कार्यसिद्ध्यर्थं यस्मात्त्वं नैषि दर्शनम्। अदृश्यः सर्वभूतानां कृकलासो भविष्यसि ॥ बहुवर्षसहस्राणि बहुवर्षशतानि च। श्वभ्रे त्वं कृकलीभूो दीर्घकालं निवत्स्यसि॥
