तस्य शापेन महता रम्भा शैली तदाभवत्।
वचः श्रुत्वा च कन्दर्पो महर्षेः स च निर्गतः॥
tasya śāpena mahatā rambhā śailī tadābhavat
vacaḥ śrutvā ca kandarpo maha-rṣeḥ sa ca nirgataḥ
tasya = by his; śāpena = curse; mahatā = great; rambhā = Rambhā; śailī tadā abhavat = became a stone; vacaḥ śrutvā ca = hearing those words; kandarpaḥ = Kāmadeva; maha-rṣeḥ = of the great sage; saḥ ca = and Indra; nirgataḥ = departed.
By his great curse, Rambhā became a stone. Hearing those words of the great sage, Kāmadeva and Indra departed.1
1 Here is a fine illustration of how surrender unto Indra or other demigods is useless as none of them can award the protection they promise. Rambhā was frightened that the sage would curse her and pleaded to Indra to not send her. Indra assured her that nothing would happen, but the curse did happen. On the other hand, surrender unto Lord Viṣṇu is never futile, for He is fully capable of protecting His devotees from everyone. This is clear from the Tenth Canto of Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam (Chapters 62 and 63). Interested readers are requested to read the same in Śrīla Prabhupāda’s excellent summary study of that Tenth Canto entitled Kṛṣṇa: The Supreme Personality of Godhead.
