The cream which Sankhya was given was so good that he desired to kill the cow, Kamdhenu, thinking that her flesh would taste even better.

In spite of Yugamuni's objections Sankhya killed the cow and distributed the meat to various persons.

While this was in progress Jambava returned, and, on hearing what had been done, dragged Sankhya and Yugamuni before Siva's judgment seat.

The two offenders did not enter the court but stood outside the doorway, Sankhya on the right side and Yugamuni on the left.

Siva condemned them to become Chandalas or outcastes, and the descendants of Sankhya have become the right-hand Holias, while those of Yugamuni and his wife Matangi are the left-hand caste of Madigas.
