When the two sisters saw the horse, it was evening. Kadaru asked her sister, can you guess the color of the horse? Vinata said it is white. Kadaru said no, it is black.
They kept arguing amongst themselves. Then Kadaru said one who lost the wager would serve as the slave of the other sister. Vinata agreed.
Kadaru in the dead of the night called her sons and told them what had happened. The nagas said it was not fair. All knew the horse was white. And Vinata was also like a mother to them and it would not be fair to deceive her.
Kadaru seeing her sons refuse cursed them to get destroyed in the snake sacrifice of Janamjeya.
The snakes then went to the horse and slowly crept over it so from a distance it looked that the horse was dark in color. Seeing the color of the horse, Vinata was forced to be the slave of Kadaru.
