When the hero Pṛṣadhra was thus cursed by his guru, he accepted the curse with folded hands. Controlling his senses, he took the vow of brahmacarya. With folded hands he accepted the curse as mercy. He had devotion to guru. He did not say “Why did uselessly you curse me without reflecting first?” Though cursed by his guru, remaining faithful to guru, he attained liberation without obstacles. That is the lesson of this story. Muni-priyam means a vow of celibacy.
