"Seeing his wife slain (when she tried to shelter asuras being pursued by Lord Vishnu), Bhrigu, overwhelmed with anger, said: 'Vishnu, you too shall experience the separation from your wife.'" (1.1.61)
"Vishnu was cursed by Vrinda (wife of Asura king Jalandhar) for the deceit you have committed (Lord Vishnu impersonated her Asura husband to break her pativrata vow that was protecting her husband). Therefore, by my words, you shall undergo separation from your wife." (1.1.62)
"Devadatta's wife, residing on the banks of the Payoṣṇī river, upon seeing Lord Vishnu in the fierce form of Narasiṃha, met her demise." (1.1.63)
"Thus, Narasiṃha (Vishnu), afflicted by sorrow due to the separation from his consort, was cursed. You too shall experience separation from your wife." (1.1.64)
"Thus, Vishnu was cursed by Bhrigu, the young Devadutt, and Vrinda, leading him to take human form." (1.1.65)
"Thus, I have narrated to you all the reasons behind these curses. Now, listen attentively as I tell you everything." (1.1.66)
These verses highlight the intricate narratives involving curses and their profound implications, underscoring the themes of karma and destiny even for gods in heaven, prevalent in Hindu philosophy.
