Gavijata

Or Shringi. The sage who cursed that Parikshit would die of snakebite.

Once Parikshit shot at a deer during a hunt and missed. He chased the deer and finally grew tired and thirsty. He looked around and seeing a sage, asked for water. The sage was meditating and did not hear him. The kig thought that the sage was being arrogant, and took a dead snake and hung it around the sage’s neck. The king then went back. Gavijata was the son of this sage. He learned of what happened while he was out with his friends. His friends ridiculed him saying his father was a nagabhushana, but it was a dead snake. He became incensed and cursed that whoever had hung the snake would die of Thakshaka’s bite in 7 days. It was only later that he realised that he had cursed Parikshit. He sent his disciples to inform the king, who responded that it would happen as per destiny, according to Devibhagavata Dwitiyaskanda.
