Kalmashpada

King Kalmashpada of Ayodhya was once going through a narrow path where he encountered the son of guru Vasishtha, Shakti maharshi coming from the opposite direction. Both started arguing over who had the right of passage and in a fit of anger Kalmashpada hit Shakti Maharshi with a whip.

This behavior from the king angered Shakti Maharshi and he cursed the King to become a demon.

Taking advantage of this situation Rishi Vishawamitra, who was witnessing this exchange from a distance, ordered demon Kinkar to possess the body of king Kalmashpada.

Under the influence of rishi Vishwamitra the demon ate Shakti Maharshi and went on killing all one hundred sons of guru Vasishtha.

Kalmashpada lived as a demon for twelve years after which he was relieved of the curse and the influence of rishi Vishwamitra by guru Vasishtha.
