DEVI BHAAGAVATAM - SKANDA 2
2#12a. Jaratkaaru (1)
Sage Jaratkaaru hated to get married. He wanted to live as a pure brahmachaari Brahmin. Once while walking through the forest, he saw his ancestors hanging upside down in a well.
They told him, Please get married to a good woman and beget good children. Only your children can deliver us from this hell and transport us to heaven
Jaratkaaru laid some conditions to them.I will marry the girl who bears my own name. She should obey me implicitly. She should come looking for me as I will not go looking for her.
Kadru and Vinata were two of the several wives of sage Kasyapa. Kadru was extremely jealous of Vinata. One day she asked Vinata to tell her the color of the horse of Sun God.
Vinata said, All the excellent horses are always white in color. Can you tell me the color of that horse. If I am wrong I will become your slave for life Kadru was wicked and told her a lie. She said, The horse of sun God is black in color
She also told the serpents who were her sons, Go forth and make the horse of the Sun God appear black by your poisonous fumes.Some of the serpents did not agree to perform this evil deed.
She lost her temper with those and cursed her own sons.You will die by dropping into the fire of the yaaga kundam when Janamejayan performs the great sarpa yaagam.
