[...] Wherever a fine article was espied by the demon, he seized it immediately. The three worlds became void of all valuable things. O sage, the oceans the offered him their gems on account of fear. The entire earth became exuberant in productivity without being tilled [i.e., ṛṣṭa貹] and yielded what his subjects desired. [...]�.
