Hearing that the Rishi Rama of Bhrigu's race had entered the inner apartments of their palace for bringing away the calf of the Homa cow of his father, the sons of Karttavirya, yielding to anger, took such entry as an insult to their royal house, and as the result thereof, they met with destruction at the hands of Rama.
अन्तःपुरगतं वत्सं श्रुत्वा रामेण निर्हतम्। धर्षणारोषसंविग्नाः कार्तवीर्यसुता हताः॥
