Durdama was the son of a Gandharva named Vishwavasu. Once, he was enjoying himself in a lake near Kailasa along with thousands of his wives. Sage Vasishta, who was observing tapas there, got annoyed and cursed him. As a result, he became a Rakshasa. His wives pleaded with Vasishta for mercy. Vasishta said that Durdama would become a Gandharva again after 17 years with the grace of Lord Vishnu. Later, when Durdama was trying to swallow Galava Muni, he was beheaded by Lord Vishnu and regained his original form. The moral of the story is that actions have consequences, but redemption is possible through compassion and divine grace.

No more sorrows 7. No hate towards anyone or anything 8. No excitement over anything worldly 9. Exhilarated beyond control 10. Self-absorbed and still in the thoughts of Bhagawan.
