1. Indra , whom he cursed to lose all his powers and wealth.
2. Sarasvati, whom he cursed to be born as a human.
3. Rukmini, whom he cursed to be separated from her husband, Krishna.
4. Shakuntala, who avoided Durvasa while at the ashrama (hermitage) of sage Kanva.
5. Kandali, his wife, whom he cursed to be reduced to a heap of dust for excessively quarrelling with him.
6. Bhanumati provoked Durvasa while playing at the garden of Raivata, and in response, Durvasa cursed her.
