| This friendship
between the two resulted in king Naraka becoming irreligious and presumptuous. Possessed
by demonic ideas (asuram bhavamwadya), Naraka began to harass the Brahmanas and even
neglected the goddess Kamakhya, who was greatly favoured by Visnu. To add to his misfortune, the sage Vasistha visited Kamarupa and wished
to worship the goddess Kamakhya. Naraka refused permit to Vasistha to go to Kamakhya
temple whereupon the sage cursed Naraka saying that he would be slam by his father Visnu
and that the goddess Kamakhya would remain hidden during the short duration of his life. |
