“I have not noticed in the Úttara KÁ?da any story about the daughter of Varu?a, but the commentator on the text (VI 60, 11) explains the allusion to her thus:

“The daughter of Varu?a was PunjikasthalÍ. On her account, a curse of BrahmÁ, involving the penalty of death, [was pronounced] on the rape of women.” Muir, Sanskrit Texts, Part IV. Appendix.
