Chitraratha was a pious and radiant woman. Once, Chitraratha approached Shanidev with the desire to have a child, but Shanidev was absorbed in devotion.
Chitrarath waited for a long time, but Shanidev remained engrossed in devotion. This behavior of his angered Chitrarath and she cursed Shanidev that whoever you look at will lose everything and will have to face great hardships in life.
After this, when Shanidev told him the reason for not looking at Chitrarath, then he regretted his mistake and he did not even have the power to take back the curse.
