पुराणम्
English
मौद्गल्य / MAUDGALYA (maudgala). A maharṣi. This maharṣi once cursed rāvaṇa.
Once maudgalya was sitting in Svastikāsana resting his shoulders on his yogic staff in the forest of Kadamba. rāvaṇa returning after his victory march came that way. Seeing the sage sitting in a wonderfully queer posture rāvaṇa was amused and playfully tapped the staff with his candrahāsa. The staff broke into two and maudgalya fell flat on the ground breaking his spine. The sage was furious and he cursed rāvaṇa saying that his candrahāsa would thenceforth have no effect at all. (yuddha Kāṇḍa, Kamba rāmāyaṇa).
