Thus checked by the doorkeepers Jaya and Vijaya, Sanandana and the other great sages very angrily cursed them. “You two foolish doorkeepers,” they said. “Being agitated by the material qualities of passion and ignorance, you are unfit to live at the shelter of Madhudviṣa’s lotus feet, which are free from such modes. It would be better for you to go immediately to the material world and take your birth in a family of most sinful asuras.”

Translation (Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura)

The four sages angrily cursed them. "O fools! You are unfit to live at the shelter of the Lord's lotus feet, which are free from tamas and rajas. Go immediately and take birth in a family of most sinful demons."
