Sandhyā said: Seeing me as a lady in the prime of my youth even at my nativity, my father, prompted by Kāma, cherished a lustful desire for me.

The minds of the sages, the mental sons, reputed to be pure in mind, on seeing me became lustful breaking the conventions.

ममापि मथितं चित्तं मदनेन दुरात्मना ॥ येन दृष्ट्वा मुनीन्सर्वांश्चलितं मन्मनो भृशम् ॥२३॥
My mind too was excessively stirred up by the wicked Kāma, as a result of which, on seeing those sages it too became excessively shaken.

फलमेतस्य पापस्य मदनस्स्वयमाप्तवान्॥ यस्तं शशाप कुपितः शंभोरग्रे पितामहः॥२४॥
Of course Kāma reaped the fruits of his sinful misdeeds, for Brahmā became angry and cursed him in the presence of Śiva.
