49. Rudra desired Umā, the daughter of the Himavat mountain. And the great sage (maharṣi) Bhṛgu also went to Himavat and said: Give me your daughter Umā. Himavat replied to him: Rudra is the desired groom. Then Bhṛgu said to him: Because you have rejected me when I came with the intention of asking for the maiden, therefore you shall not be a vessel for jewels. From this day onward, this pronouncement of the seer remains standing.
