There was king called Vishwamitra, who one day, while roaming around came across his kingdo, accidentally ended up at the hermitage of rishi Vasistha. The king bowed before the rishi, who invited the king and his followers for a meal. The sage had a cow, Nandini, from whose milk the sage prepared all the food for the king. The king wanted the cow, but the rishi refused to give it away. THe king offered a thousand cows in exchange, even that was refused. He even offered a million cows which was also refused. The king said he would carry the cow over by force.
The king tied a rope around the cow's neck and tried pulling it away. The cows bellowed loudly and two demons were born who attacked and destroyed the king's followers.
Humiliated and dejected, the king went off to the forests where he spent his days in meditation and later became a rishi.
