O mother, you are now unnecessarily angry, but since all my happiness and distress are destined by my past activities, I do not plead to be excused or relieved from your curse. Although what I have said is not wrong, please let whatever you think is wrong be pardoned.

Being fully aware of how the results of one’s karma accrue by the laws of nature, Citraketu did not want to be released from Pārvatī’s curse. Nonetheless, he wanted to satisfy her because although his verdict was natural, she was displeased with him. As a matter of course, Mahārāja Citraketu begged pardon from Pārvatī.

Translation
O angry one! I do not please you to get free from the curse. O chaste lady! Please forgive me for what you consider to be unkind words. Therefore I do not please you just to get free from the curse. O angry woman! You have become angry without considering properly. “Then why do you please me?” What you consider improper words, let them be improper, but please forgive me for that. During the curse and after the curse, I have no distress or happiness. Therefore being satisfied, do not withdraw the curse.
