इति भागवतो देव्याः प्रतिशप्तुमलन्तमः । मूर्ध्ना सञ्जगृहे शापमेतावत्साधुलक्षणम् ।। ६-१७-३७ ।।

sanskrit

The great devotee Chitraketu was so powerful that he was quite competent to curse mother Pārvatī in retaliation, but instead of doing so he very humbly accepted the curse and bowed his head before Lord Śiva and his wife. This is very much to be appreciated as the standard behavior of a Vaiṣṇava. ।। 6-17-37 ।।

जज्ञे त्वष्टुर्दक्षिणाग्नौ दानवीं योनिमाश्रितः । वृत्र इत्यभिविख्यातो ज्ञानविज्ञानसंयुतः ।। ६-१७-३८ ।।

sanskrit

Being cursed by mother Durgā [Bhavānī, the wife of Lord Śiva], that same Chitraketu accepted birth in a demoniac species of life. Although still fully equipped with transcendental knowledge and practical application of that knowledge in life, he appeared as a demon at the fire sacrifice performed by Tvaṣṭā, and thus he became famous as Vṛtrāsura. ।। 6-17-38 ।।
