There is a story about this Krodha in the “Jaimini-Aśvamedha Parva”:—Once, while the hermit Jamadagni was performing sacrificial offerings to the Manes, Krodha came there and secretly put poison in the pudding prepared from the milk of the sacrificial cow. Even though the hermit knew this he did not get angry. Seeing this, Krodha became afraid of the hermit and approaching him said "Oh, hermit! I thought that the Bhārgavas (those born of the family of Bhṛgu) would get angry quickly. Now I understand that it is wrong." Jamadagni pardoned him and said: "But you have to appease the anger of the Manes". The Manes cursed him that he would have to take birth as a mongoose. But he was given remissiom that he would be liberated from the curse, when he narrated the story of the Brahmin Uñcchavṛtti at the palace of Dharma in the presence of Śrī Kṛṣṇa. Thus Krodha regained his former form.
