Here we can compare the story of Dithi too. However, sage Kashyapa warned her, Dithi could not bear her temptation and we have seen the terrible result of her unwise desire. The comparison of these two couples – “Dithi and Kashyapa” and “Devahoothi and Karddama” – gives such an insight into how the same desire (to have a child) can be channelized into destructive and constructive ways. While Kashyapa cursed Dithi to bear Asurik children, Karddama blessed Devahoothi to give birth to divine children.

They enjoyed each other’s company and sensual pleasures for a very long time. It is interesting to read the efforts taken by the Sage to please his wife. In the due course of time, Devahoothi gave birth to nine daughters, making the instruction of Lord Brahma materialize. Then she remembered her husband’s vow to leave her after the child birth. Hiding her deep sorrow, she prayed to her husband, “Oh Brahma Jnani, please do not leave me now.
