O Kakutstha, for a slight offense, such a curse from the two brahmins came upon the royal sage Nrga—great indeed, like another rod of Yama.

Having heard, however, that he himself was tainted by sin, O foremost of men, what did King Nṛga say to the two Brahmins filled with anger?

Thus addressed by Laksmana, Raghava spoke again: “Listen, gentle one, how formerly that king was afflicted by the curse.”

Then, learning that the two brahmins had gone away on the road, that Nrga at that time summoned all the ministers, the townsmen/merchant-guild people, and the household priests.
