Read the verse again. Then tell me who is cursing whom.

I found it in a typewritten collection *attributed* to Canakya

Kautilya, one which someone gave me years ago, but I also vaguely remember

seeing it in the Bhakti-ratnakara. I have no exact references now, though,

sorry. This is the kind of verse that appears in many variant readings.

I'm glad you liked it.
