Having imprecated this curse, Bhțgu was greatly pained and being propitiated by his adoration, Visnu, fond of disciples, said. “Having slain Rāvaņa and others, I shall be, for the behoof of . mankind, subject to this imprecation."
शापाभिहतचेतास्तु स्वात्मना भावितोऽभवत्॥ अर्चयामास तं देवं भृगुः शापेन पीडितः। तपसाराधितो देवो ह्यब्रवीद्भक्तवत्सलः॥ लोकानां संप्रियार्थ तं शापं मृह्यमुक्तवान्।
