KHAGAMA : A Brāhmaṇa. In Mahābhārata, there is a story which describes how this Brahmin Khagama changed another Brahmin to a serpent by cursing him. The Brahmin Khagama and Sahasrapāt were friends. Once Sahasrapāt made a snake of grass and terrified Khagama at Agnihotra (Burnt offering in the holy fire) Khagama instantly cursed Sahasrapāt to become a serpent. Sahasrapāt requested for liberation from the curse. Khagama said that he would resume his original form on the day he saw Ruru the son of Pramati. From that day onwards Sahasrapāt roamed about in several countries in the form of a serpent.
Once Pramadvarā the wife of Ruru, died by snake-bite. Ruru cried over the death of his wife for a long time. According to the advice of a messenger from the Devas Ruru gave half of his life-time to his wife and she came to life again. But Ruru felt a bitter hatred against serpents and began their extermination. Once he met with Sahasrapāt. Instantly at the sight of Ruru, Sahasrapāt obtained his original form. (M.B. Ādi Parva, Chapter 11).
