Sage Vashishta was the royal priest of the Raghu Dynasty which belonged to Lord Rama. Arundhati, wife of Vashishta used to help him in teaching the Vedas to his disciples.
In order to help Arundhati with her chores, Lord Brahma gifted them a wish fulfilling cow, Nandini, daughter of Kamadhenu.
One day, the 8 vasus (divine beings) after having a meal at Sage Vashistha’s house, went and told their wives about Nandini and Prabhasa, one of the vasus, provoked the other vasus, and attempted to steal Nandini from the Ashram as he wanted to gift it to his wife upon her desire.
When Sage Vashishta found out he cursed the vasus, that they would all be born on Earth.
