Having left Damayanti, Nala saw a huge fire. He heard a voice calling out to him and asking him to enter the fire. Nala stepped in and saw a naga sitting there on his coils. He said his name was Karkat and he had been cursed by Narada to stay there till Nala helped him. The naga asked Nala to carry him out.
Nala did that and left the Naga in a safe spot. The Naga said he would help Nala and told him to take a stepo forward. The moment Nala did so, he was bitten by the Naga. Nala went a change in his body and looked different.
The Naga said Please do not be amazed. Kali, who is now in your body, will have to live with my venom, in pain, till he leaves you. Go to Ayodhya and meet the king there called Rituparna. He is skilled in gambling and the game of dice. Learn the game from him. You will have no fear from animals. Tell him your name is Vahuka. Soon you will be united with your wife and children. Saying this Karkata gave a garment to Nala and said Keep this carefully. When you want to change back to your original form, wear this. Saying this, Karkata left.
